Rechargeable batteries, esp NiMH, don't deliver the same peak (...) (18 years ago, 19-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | (...) I think that NiMH should be up to the task at that power level (difference between NiMH and NiCd occur at much higher discharge rate). But maybe there is one or more dead cell that cant't hold its charge? Since NiMH provide 7.2V instead of 9V, (...) (18 years ago, 19-May-06, to lugnet.robotics)
