What kind of battery is inside collar: Ni-MH or Li-ion?

My owner's manual says " Collar Receiver Lithium Battery: 3.7V 240 mAh Lip". Hope that helps.

I used to have a 500mah ni-cd battery and switched it to this ni-mh battery and it works great. Much longer time in between charges and longer talk times. It is a tighter fit but the cover does close.

Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are later technology than Nickel Cadmium batteries and don't have, for example, as much "memory effect" as Ni-Cad batteries (but are still not as good as Lithium Ion batteries that are used for everything these days). More importantly, the battery has to fit and have the same voltage as the original. Chances are, if it doesn't say it fits the 561 series, it doesn't (but I don't know about those details).

One is based on NiMH and the other is Lithium-ion. I've used the NiMH and I'm not at all happy with the welding/mechanical connection on the negative side of the battery. Both are Low Self Discharge (LSD) which is good. I'd go for it and get the LiON 9v @600mAh -- In theory it should last 3x longer. These NiMH 9v are "claimed to be LSD" but I get poor shelf life, nothing like the Sanyo 'White Label AA" which are fantastic NiHM LSD batteries. I've had superior results with Lithium-ion, but you pay the price. You will have to run your own tests and real world applications. I'd buy the set with the 4 batteries and the recharger (as they are only asking a bit over $2 for the charger -- some batteries can be touchy with what charger is charging them. Would enjoy seeing your feedback on your experience.

It specifies Lithium rechargeable batteries. I am having trouble finding rechargeable batteries that are lithium...most are Ni-MH. Can these still be used? (Sorry for the ignorance...I have never used rechargeable batteries!)

The battery is a DC9098, 18 volt. My drill will accomodate both the NI-Cad and Lithium Ion batteries. As far as the problem with the chuck which I mentioned about 2 years ago, it has resolved itself. Why it was not working for a week or two I do not know, but now works just fine.

I use Tenergy 10,000 mAh Ni-MH rechargeable batteries. They last just over a month, so I swap them out and recharge once a month - easier to remember that way, and it's cheaper in the long run to use rechargeables.

Mine has three 1.2volt batteries stacked together but brand and type are hidden because they are in a shrink wrap plastic tube. The Stanley web site says they are Ni-Mh (Nickle Metal Hydride). http://www.stanleytools.com/default.asp?CATEGORY=FLASHLIGHTS&TYPE=PRODUCT&PARTNUMBER=95-154&SDesc=Stanley%26%23174%3B+Rechargeable+Aluminum+Flashlight Written on the tube are: 1/2A 1000mAh 3.6v", a date, and a recycle symbol. The charger is rated at 200mA, 4.2volt. I hope that helps.

Ni-Cad batteries are the older technology ones. NiMH and Lithium are the newer ones and should be purchased when possible. Also, charge your phone overnight then take it out of the charger until it needs charging again. Don't leave it in the charger stand all the time, this "cooks" the battery and shortens the life.

It's a Lithium Ion 3.6 V, 4.5 Wh, 1240 mAh rechargable pack. I bought mine with a second one not from Sony (it was part of a whole package including a camera bag as well) - this one is from Bower, also a Li-Ion, 3.6 V, but 1800 mAh. I didn't keep track which one of them was better, since I charge them both, put one in the camera, and then shoot more photos than with any camera before without worrying about the battery. It just runs and runs and runs... When the camera finally announces a battery being nearly empty, I switch them and charge the empty one. Piece of cake.

I'll agree with the consensus.I cannot confirm or deny compatibility with the very old NiCd batteries, and in fact do not recommend it, but I can confirm by experience that NiMH - both "standard" and "long shelf life/pre-charged" - and the iGo batteries both work in this charger.

The 20v MAX lithium battery will not fit tools that used the 18v NiCad battery. They are both 18v (nominal) battery packs. It would be less expensive the replace the cells in your NiCad pack with high capacity Ni-mh cells.

Hi u can use either battery I use the 9096 nicad it's cheaper than lithium ion advantage to lithium ion is it will last longer before a charge but nicad is great

I just ordered mine and am looking forward to giving it a try... I can't seem to find much info on this mower. I'm curious, is the battery a lithium ion or ni cad?

Lithium only according to booklet. Like the lithium better than ni-cad. Smaller and lighter. They recharge in an hour. The smaller packs that comes with are all right. They last about one hour. Keep your charger handy and the second battery charged. If you are going to use it a lot buy the heavy duty lithium pack. They cost about 120.00 at home depot. Which is a licsened repair for Ridgid tools. Lithium runs at a consistent voltage and amps till the battery get to a point and shuts down. Where the ni- cad runs down continuly losing power through the charge.

No. Ni-Cad batteries don't seem to bounce back as well as Li-Ion and once the battery is dead there is no hope for it. I had to replace 2 batteries so I bought two Li-Ion with the required charger and I have been very satisfied with the performance improvement in terms of power and running time.

I agree with Gabriel Dibble...the battery is Ni-Mh. Like most electric toothbrushes, the WaterFlosser rechargeable is contained within the case that has no obvious "door" or cover that allows you access to replace the rechargeable battery after it will no longer hold a charge. This qualifies for "planned obsolescence".
