More battery fun

Why not use 3 AAA rechargeables then? That'll make it exactly 3,6 volt and er....lots of Ah :-).

Who needs battery cases anyway, a soldering iron, some wires and duct tape are all you need ;-).

NiMH's do leak, as do NiCad's. It just takes long before they start leaking. The normal batteries in A4k's are NiMH's (At least in mine it was a NiMH, maybe NiCads have also been used?).

I am pretty sure that all the Varta batteries on the 2000/3000/4000 WERE NiCad only and NEVER NiMh.  If (NiMh) they do leak they will not damage the PCB.

Really? That's good news, as mine was fitted with a NiMH accu :-):

@x56h34:

I bought mine used last monday, if the battery has been replaced before than it has been done very professionel. The soldering didn't look like a DIY job, but ofcourse it's a very good possibility.
