[time-nuts] HP-105B Battery Replacement?

[Brooke Clarke]

Hi David:

The chemistries are very different. Ni-Cad is endothermic whereas Ni-MH is Exothermic.  This is why chargers for Ni-MH 
have a mandatory temperature sensor.  This is one of the reasons I say Ni-Cad cells batteries are easy to charge.
