If you're handy with a dremel tool and a soldering iron, you can
convert your standard AA battery sled into a rechargeable NiMH
battery pack.
See http://www.logictools.de/newton/english/index.html for more info.
This involves adding a thermo resistor to the sled, so that the
newton can both sense that it is a NiMH battery pack, and also
recharge the NiMH batteries in it.
