Yes. All rechargeables are 1.25v. The only option you
can choose is the mAh rating. I picked up some Maha
Powerex 2200mAh batteries (a set of 8) and a cycling
charger for $48. http://www.thomas-distributing.com
(they take PayPal)
I've been using a set of Maha Powerex batteries for a
few months now and my Archos mp3 player lasts over 11
hours with a set. My 2100 Newt runs for 2 weeks
without even showing a drain! I didn't have to
recharge the batteries until 3 weeks of use! (and then
only because I neede a reliable Newt for a few days
and couldn't risk the batteries dying).
One thing though. Go to http://www.logictools.de and
get the battery type Preference plug-in. This little
Preferences add-in allows you to set the battery type
in your Newt so that it will more accuratly display
the approximate life remaining in your current set of
batteries.
