Ni-mh ---is a supperior rechargable battery it can be charged with many more uses and not loose it's capacity to hold a charge. As what will happen very easily with a Ni-cad battery if it's not treated with a Great deal of care to insure it is being charged only when it has become completely drained before charging is started... With either of these batteries it will be most important to completely give the battery a full charge before using one. Or it will cause it to loose capacity and become nearly unusable... Generally a Time will be stated for how long it takes to get a full charge. This is true for any device powered by a rechargable battery. I have used many devices with rechargables. When care is used they will last for a very long time over many uses.. But just a few times of Carelessness and the battery will be ruined.

If the voltage is tremendous, the battery will be ok. The replace to Ni-MH for replace batteries is largely to provide longer talk time and to eliminate the memory outcome appropriate with Ni-CD batteries. The memory outcome's type of a protracted tale, no matter if it motives older Ni-CD batteries to not carry a cost see you later as even as new. I received't make sparkling it precise the following, because of the very truth i do not understand the way surely this is. .

Ni-Mh batteries have more power and long lasting. That's why they are recommended. No harm in using Ni-Cd, only they run out faster.

You should be able to use NiCd whenever you normally use a NiMh battery. However, you should be sure that there is no charging happening -- since chargers are not all compatible.
The only thing that could be hazardous is using NiMh instead of NiCad in very high current applications (power tools, certain flashes). That is because the lower internal resistance could cause dangerous cell overheating, explosions, other bad stuff...

Ni-Mh batteries have no memory when it comes to charging them up were as the ni-cads you must discharge or make sure they are totally flat before charging.

no harm the Ni-mh batteries last longer.

No harm, but NiMH is sooo much better. Don't bother with NiCd. Spend the extra money if need be. Go to Target & buy Energizer NiMH AA batteries and charger.

Others above have answered your question. Dont forget to take a spare set with you.....I take two sets just in case. I remember once being on a boat in Italy and my batteries ran out and I missed somee spectacular shots. Nice to have 2 cameras as well.....one as a spare!

NiMh batteries don't suffer from a need to be discharged prior to recharging them.
NiCa suffer memory effect in that they lose charge capacity if they are not fully discharged then fully charged.

Nickel Metal Hydride batteries last longer and are more efficient than Nickel Cadmium batteries.
