I tried freshly charged nimh batteries in my T32 and it recharged after a
full dump in (gulp) less than 6 seconds. Though the T flashes are okay with
nicads, I don't know if the nimh's will have any ill affects.

> I have 2 "good" flashes, an Oly T32 and a Sunpack Auto30DX with dedicated

> V)? Worse recycle time? Less shots?
> 2) Can I use also Ni-MH batteries? I know nothing about these apart the
> fact I've seen rechargers and batteries with this technology with a good
> price, and I could use them also for the motor of my telescope.
