Why does the product description say, "...nickel cadmium construction..." I thought these were the upgraded NiMH?

From the manual:"VP100, VP100C and VP105C batteries are Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) cells. VP110 and VP110C batteries are Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH). NiMH cells provide the user with increased run time, as a result charge time increases respectively."

Hi James: I also thought they were lithium but they are not. They are an upgraded NiCad. The ones I bought are working great. Found out that you do NOT keep them on a charger all the time. Use until run down then recharge and remove from charger when charged. These have lasted over 2 years. The older non upgraded lasted 6 to 9 months but I kept them on the charger all the time.

The one I have is nickel. I recommend for the price. Looks high end. Using above a pool table.not using the extensions though

Would you tell me the brand of the NiMH batteries you used? I have problems to find suitable ones.

I ordered this and mine is polished nickel. Not black or antique at all. And it is a gorgeous fixture! So happy with it.

I also use SONY NI-MH batteries and I haven't experienced any problems. I think what they meant to emphasize was to use NiMH type of rechargeable batteries. Here is what Olympus recommends: Ni-MH Quick Charger and Battery Set (B-90SU) http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1393&fl=5 "What is the difference between Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NIMH) batteries? Both NiCad and NiMH batteries are rechargeable. The main difference between the two is the fact that NIMH batteries offer higher energy densities than NiCads. In other words, pound for pound, NIMH delivers approximately 30% more capacity than its NiCad counterpart. " Reference: http://www.batterymart.com/c-battery-facts-faqs.html#lith-alk

not solid copper, nickel lined, I was rather disappointed finding that out b/c the description they provide is a blatant lie

I see what you mean. I don't remember what the description said when I bought it. the one I got is Yuasa NP7-12 as pictured.

I don't know, but I can tell you that it's a very light material. The nickel plating does not come off easy as I have been using the same pair for several projects. I hope this information helps you. I love having the set, the cables are flexible and the needles are super light. The only difficulty I have is reading the numbers on the needles so I make sure that I get them back in the same spot in the organizer bag. Overall a nice purchase for me.

For what its worth, the manual says to only use nickel metal hydride (NiMH) type batteries.

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

Short answer, yes. Long answer is NI-MH is a newer type of battery make up that can hold power longer than the older Ni-cd batteries.

NO. The NiMH & NiCD batteries charge differently then the Li-Ion batteries.

It looks like many of the other nickel shower heads and bathroom wall fixtures. You can go to home depot just to check them out. I had random faucet handles and towel racks that were all nickel, and it matched them well.

The battery doesn't indicate its type but the charger says for Ni-cad or Metal halide only. So, I'm pretty sure it is Ni-cad.

The original battery was a VersaPak with Nickel Cadmium chemistry. The replacement (VersaPak Gold) employs NiMH which requires a different charger. They work fine in the tool.

No these are the upgrade versions that replaced the crappy GM save ourselves a nickel and cost the customer 10 dollars stepper motors!

I only bought them for my phones. I would check the instructions that came with the device before using the NiMH.
