[time-nuts] HP-105B Battery Replacement?

[David G. McGaw]

It has been my experience that both chemistries have thermal cutouts for 
overcharge limiting and both can use chargers that detect the negative 
voltage slope when the cells heat up once they are fully charged, hence 
the ability to use the same chargers for NiCd and NiMH.  I have many 
radios that started out with NiCd batteries and the newer replacements 
are NiMH.
