NIMH in a 145b?

[benjgvps]

I need to know if there is a problem because im buying one of those laptops from a friend and want to know which website to buy from. I got the choices down to 2 on-line stores: one that sells nimh batteries for the 145b, and an other that sells nicds for the 145b. Is there any charging, life, or compatiblility issues that I need to know about when im buying the batteries?

NiMH batteries hold more juice. I am thinking of getting some NiMH cells to rebuild my 150 battery so it lasts longer.

Both types should work fine, but as recommended, NiMH will give you more battery life. NiCd batteries are starting to get phazed out now as NiMH cells are much cheaper than they used to be.

I think the chargers are compatible, too. The charger that I use for my wireless video game controllers and digital camera batteries will charge both NiCd and NiMH and there are no switches on it, so the voltage and rate of charge must be compatible.

they're compatible enough
