1.2V NiCd for HP-41? - Jürgen Keller - 12-04-2002 Does anybody know if I can also use 1.2V NiCd disposable batteries instead of the recommended 1.5V Alkaline batteries for the HP-41? I currently do not have a rechargable battery pack :-(
Re: 1.2V NiCd for HP-41? - Emmanuel, Normandy - 12-04-2002 Dear Jürgen, Re: 1.2V NiCd for HP-41? - David Smith - 12-04-2002 Yes nicads work fine, so do NiMH cells if you can find them. HP once sold a nicad kit for the machine.
Sure - Mike - 12-04-2002 Sure, NiCads work just fine. That's what's in the rechargeable pack.
Re: Sure - Jürgen Keller - 12-05-2002 Emmanuel, David, Mike: Re: 1.2V NiCd for HP-41? - Andreas Müller (GER) - 12-05-2002 I am using NiCd Cells 1.2V/150mA, for over 20 years. One 'Quartet' (manufacturer: Varta) is still working for 23 years in my 41-CV. No corrosion at all. But I have used another 'Quartet' (manufacturer: Panasonic) that showed leakage and began to produce corrosion after using them 5 years. Since I made this experience I only use Varta NiCds for my 41-CV. I actually have 2 'Quartets' in use. |
