Subj: REPLY TO MSG #2965 (MODEL 200 NICADS)
I'm surprised that the 200 won't run on Nicads. I used to use Nicads in my Kyocera KC85. The only thing I noticed was the short notice on low battery conditions. I never lost data. Nicads have a lower voltage per cell than alkaline batteries by 0.25 volt. That, with the steep drop-off of the voltage at the end of the battery's charge life gave me about 15 seconds of notice instead of 20 minutes. I always kept a backup set or AC adapter! Of course, all charging took place in an external charger. Is the 200 that picky about nominal operating voltage?
