I have also used the Ray-O-Vac Renewals in the RCX. Unfortunately, I have not had good luck
with them. They seem to work fine in the RCX, but recharging them (in the Ray-O-Vac charger
specially intended for the Renewals, model PS1) invariably causes some cells to leak. I have
sent back the charger with ruined cells at least three times now. Ray-O-Vac has been very
good about replacing the charger and the cells, but I don't trust the Renewals any more and
no longer use them.
I have successfully used the charger with Ray-O-Vac's NiMH cells. I use these cells in my
digital camera; not the RCX.

Perhaps they fixed something. I think the point is, (...) (24 years ago, 23-Oct-00, to lugnet.robotics)
