    Beo4 NiMh batteries

    Can I use rechargeable NiMh (Energizer 2650mAh) Batteries in a Beo4.

    I can't see why not, but I also fail to see why. Beo4 uses extremely little power (probably a fraction of the amount NiMH batteries discharge by themselves when disconnected) and the cell voltage would be a little low to begin with. You would probably be recharging them every other month.

    I recommend Energizer Lithiums. In applications like this they can last five times longer than alkaline batteries (it is not just ad speak!) and will not go old so fast. I have yet to replace a single one since I started putting them in all my remotes.

    yes, but...

    You better use normaal batteries,rechargeable batteries have less power.

    also they are faster empty.

    My batteries are running out and the rechargeables are the only ones I have spare.

    I use NiMh batteries in all applications remote / radio control systems - they hold charge better than Ni Cads and do not suffer recharge memory problems! I would recommend 'em
