Well, let me chime in... if you are considering using them the main
consideration 1) is the capacity, right?
What capacity are they up to now?
IMO if they were at least comparable to the original Rechargeable
Packs then it would be a reasonable starting point for some, maybe not
for you Adam...
2) What aer their dimensions? this could prove much easier to re-cell
if they take up less space.... the newer capacities of AA NiMH have a
larger diameter and cause issues when re-sealing them...
3) What are their weight? if they are lighter then I'd say this is a
definite benefit as even the 2400mAh AA NiMH are heavy...and if you
consider the newer 2700mAh then it's going to be even more...
Just some thoughts...
