I have an old ICOM handheld radio with a battery pack that holds six AA cells. There is a switch in the pack between Alkaline and NiCd cells. I assume that the radio holds the pack at a float voltage when the radio is running on mains power, and the pack switch controls the target voltage.
I would like to switch to Nimh chemistry, but I am concerned that the charge voltage levels would be inappropriate. Does anyone know if a Nimh pack can safely be held at NiCd float levels?
