Very easy: 2 cells CD-NI 1,2V 600mA.
But works great with to AA Alkaline battery (2x1,5v)
good luck !!

Hi Fabio,
look at http://www.hpmuseum.org/batts/battery.htm. Very useful information IMHO.

I use 1800 maH AA sized NiMH cells in my woodstock series machines... they give three times the run time of the standard 600 maH NiCad cells (you charge them for three times as long).

David - do you use the standard HP charger?


Re: HP21 bacteries - David Smith - 02-27-2003

Yes, I use the standard HP charger. As long as the charger is a slow charge system, NiMH cells will directly replace NiCad cells... it just takes propotionally longer to charge them fully.
