Batteries:
Non-Rechargeable:
Make sure the battery used specifically says " lkaline" on the case of the battery. There are
batteries that say "Heavy Duty" or "General Purpose" that look just like lkaline batteries. They
are not, and should therefore not be used!
Rechargeable:
NiMH are of Nickel Metal Hydride construction and are available with either 7 or 8 cells connected
in series that produce 8.4 volts and 9.6 volts respectively. Either one will work because both have
nominal voltages above the low battery warning point.
