    Yes, the OMP cage works fine with the MP100.

    I've been working on that project on and off as well. So far, no real
success. Soldering AAA cells is fiddly and NiCDs really don't like it. I'm
still looking for AAA NiCDs with soldering tabs.

    Very likely. I have a box of OMP/MP100 packs and not one sample I've
tried has held a charge for more than a minute. I'd say that, as a species,
the OMP rechargable pack is just about extinct.
