You can also build the batteries. Just go and get some 1.2 volt AA sized (probably somewhere around 700 mAh) NIMH cells, and solder 6 of them together (positive to negative with leads), and presto! You have a battery pack.

That would work, but you can't use that battery with NiMH cells in competition. You could use NiCad, though.

Q: Can we use a battery pack that we assembled ourselves, using 6 AA NiMH cells? They have the same voltage (1.2V x 6) as NiCad cells, but more capacity (1600AH) and no memory effect.
A: No. See R39.
