(...) Definitely use NiMH's. NiCd's are a problem - they only generate 1.2 volts instead of the usual 1.5 of disposable batteries - and I've found that this *sometimes* causes problems with the RCX.

Does anyone have any comments about using rechargeable batteries in the RCX? Has anyone had any bad experiences with this? Can anyone recommend whether NiMH is better or worse than NiCd? Thanks. Laura (23 years ago, 12-Jul-02, to lugnet.robotics)
