Mignon batteries?

Mignon batteries are batteries of size R6 like used in CM.

If you read the thread I referenced before, you'll see that Anders
Isaksson _specifically_ claimed success with 1.2V recharable
batteries.

You are right the nominal voltage of this recharable batteries is 1.2V but I
tested the voltage of a just refreshed batterie under load and then the real
voltage was about 1.25 V.

I don't know if he tested the communication range, but only
2-3 meters of range seems rather obvious.

Perhaps I should test the CM-connect on adding an additional batterie...

Regards,
Falk
