I'm referring to NiMH AA batteries. I've never used them so I'm not sure
what the capacity is. I know the 9V cells are lacking.

| I guess the Ni-MH battery John H. mentioned is the one from "9V"
| battery pack (if not please correct me), it has 150mAH capacity and it
| seems not so good in delivery high current. The same type of "9V"
| Ni-Cd has similar characteristic with around 120mAH capacity. They
| both only delivery around 4.2fps on my MD-1s. I don't know what is the
| capacity of original Olympus Ni-cd pack, but it can delivery 5fps on
| my MD-1.
|
| For the charger, I think the best way is to use lower charging current
| of around 1/10C (~15 to 20mA) to avoid overcharge the battery. I think
| it does no harm to the battery even you left it for one or two days,
| the only problem is it takes you 14hrs to fully charge the battery. I
| always use 100mA to charge my 1600mAH Ni-MH (for my E-10 ;-), just
| left it there to charge for 20-24hrs, no worry about overcharge.
