Can Nickel Metal Hydride batteries be used in the T series flashes or winders?
I got an Eveready set of 8 AA 1700ma/h and slow charger at Sams Club for $20.
Charged them up for 15 hours on the NiMh setting, and the ready light came on.
Put them into a T32. They won't bring the flash up to full charge--the light
never goes on. Fresh out of the charger, they read 1.2 volts. After 3 minutes
in the flash unit, they read .9v. I just tried 4 fresh out of the charger in an
Olympus D370 digital. Won't power it up either.
Are these puppies bad, or am I using them in the wrong appliances???? Is anyone
able to use this battery type in Oly flashes?
Thanks,
Mickey
