Nickel metal hydride and you

Gee, that title sounds like a fourth-grade filmstrip, doesn’t it?

I first explored nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries in earnest when I got my first digital camera several years ago. Today, between my gadgets and toys, the boys’ gadgets and toys, and stuff around the house and garage, I estimate I have 400 NiMH batteries deployed at all times, with 52 on continuous trickle charge.

How did that happen? Well, they just make a lot of sense. They save money, and they make thinking about batteries much easier. If you’ve not yet moved to these little wonders, take some time to read this piece I wrote on NiMH batteries. You might be persuaded.
