A NOTE ON RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES...
This product will charge both NiMh and NiCd rechargeable batteries. NiMh batteries are charged at a higher current than NiCd batteries, so at the charging current of this product, they will take a little longer to fully charge than they would in a dedicated NiMh charger.
Modern Outpost recommends the use of NiMh batteries with solar products whenever possible due to the cyclical nature of solar charging, and the lack of a "memory effect" with this type of battery which is often the reason for the early failure of NiCd batteries to hold a charge.
