Re: Rechargeable batteries for the RCX
I have tried using NiMh (I think. They may have been NiCd) rechargeable batteries in the RCX. As Al said, they have a lower terminal voltage, and performance suffers accordingly. Is it safe? Yes. Will you likely lose motor power and end up replacing the batteries more? Yes.
Another thing to consider is that rechargeable batteries are significantly more expensive than their alkaline counterparts. If you only plan to use these batteries for a few sessions, it might be more economical to buy alkaline batteries for each week. (Especially if you buy in bulk.)
