Do the NiMH batteries in these units experience "memory" effects?

Yes, mine lasted about 6 months of normal weekend use. Rechargeable AA's are the way to go. I use the included charging cradles as just holding stands now.

This is what it says online when I Google your question: NiMH is an improved version of rechargeable batteries, they don't have the memory problem that NiCd's do. The only thing is you will need a special battery charger for them. Since the phone is the charger, then probably not.

The batteries have no memory and can be charged anytime. My batteries have lasted 40 minutes or so with normal use.

Hi Ron If you take a look at our site we have some NiMH batteries in stock for sale. Thanks

They're not Lithium or NiMH batteries, they are rechargeable "Li-ion" batteries. Big difference between Lithium and Li-ion.

Yes, of course. But only niMh (nickel-metal-hydrides) batteries, not the old nicads.

Yes, two of them. Make sure they're alkaline as it likes higher voltage (NiMH has a tendency to not work well)

With NiMH batteries, you sometimes need to entirely drain them to get them to take a full useful charge.The discharge button does that (and then once done, charges them all the way up).

It looks like your model requires a special battery pack. The NiMH batteries look like ordinary triple A's.

YES IT WILL WITH NiMH. A battery is still a battery no matter how the voltage is produced.

No, and it only does a marginal job on alkaline batteries. I have charged over 100 D, C, AA, and AAA alkaline types and they rarely achieve over 50% energy density of a new battery. Don't expect the recharging ability of a NiMH or a NiCad on an alkaline.

The memory in these is non-volatile, meaning you won't lose your settings when replacing the batteries.

it will retain memory when changing batteries. you have to turn off then change. i use recharge batteries and never have memory lost.

Battery probably bad. If you let NiMH get absolutely flat (discharged) they CAN reverse polarity.

My long-term self-discharge test shows that the AmazonBasic (Black) NiMH cells can hold ~73% of charge after 6 months of storage. In contrast, the Sanyo eneloop cells were tested to retain ~85% of charger after 1 year of storage.By the way, nowhere in the description of AmazonBasic (Black) NiMH cells claim that it can be recharged 1500x.

These batteries have no memory as stated by the company, and can be kept on the charger. In addition, when I received the batteries I placed the batteries in the charger and the green light came on. Then placed the batteries on the wall for charging and the light turned red and left for several hours and upon checking the charging the light turned green for a full charge. This was the instruction given with the charger.

I have the Canon S1 and have been using rechargeable NiMH cells in it without problems. However, I have to point out that not all NiMH cells are suitable for digital cameras. I have some several-year-old NiMH cells that have relatively high internal resistance. When the camera is operating (especially with flash on), it may drain more than 1A of peak current. Due to the higher internal resistance, supply voltage can dip below "low battery" mark even when those batteries are fully charged. It is a good idea to clean the battery terminals and battery compartment contacts (with a pencil eraser, for example), to make sure they make good electrical connections. There are also some cells (such as the Energizer 2500mAh) with shockingly high self-discharge rate. If you charge up those cells and leave them in your camera for a few days, they may become completely exhausted before you can take any pictures. Nowadays I only use low self-discharge cells (such as Sanyo eneloop, Rayovac Hybrid, Kodak Pre-Charged) in my photo equipment.
