Yes, I also have no problem in normal use with Ni-cd or Ni-MH, but
just a case for warning if you want to know how many full power
flashes a set of battery can give you :-) No one tell me before a
flash is not designed to handle continue charge/discharge, but the T32
I tested was not bad, it can last for over 50 cycles! With a slight
modification on the transformer design I think it can withstand the
test condition I carried out. Using vacuum varnish or high quality
double insulation wire could solve this problem.

I have no idea on the "perssurized smoke" you are talking about, may
be you are talking about E-caps?
