 Gary, First of all, please don't use all caps, it makes your messages hard to
read. I've tried Nicads in my model 100 with very little success; they put out
a slightly lower voltage than alkalines, and this makes for a very short life
befor recharging. It was way more trouble than it was worth. Alkalines should
have a very long life unless you are using the internal modem, so to me they
are a better choice than Nicads. Maybe someone else has had better luck with
Nicads than I have and they could give you some advice. The AC adaptor will not
recharge the Nicads (or any other batteries) in the computer.
