OT: slightly but related to photog

I've been using the same nicads for about 10+ years. They are starting to fail.
Ie read 0 vdc, and do no take a recharge or discharge.

D size high charge nicads are becoming very rare.

I have a Ickolite AI/n flash that can use nicads. My question is can I use
nimhs?

I know that a different charger is required.

Thanks for any info.

Pat

Yes.

Just get the new charger. NiCAD and NiMH batteries both have a "typical"
output voltage of 1.2V, and have comparable internal resistances.
