If you put rechargeable batteries in regular battery tray then they
will not charge. The Newton will think the batteries are regular
alkaline. There is a little thermistor which tells the Newton what
the temperature is inside the battery pack. If the pack gets too hot
then the thermistor will limit the amount of current being used to
charge the batteries. The circuit of the thermistor also tells the
Newton there is a battery pack rather than a battery tray.
