This is useful to know as NiCads are not as easy to find these days, they seem to sell NiMH cells even in the dollar stores for cordless phones and the like. I have a number of Lithium cells from those E-cigarette/vape things, there is a store here that sells disposable ones and one the liquid goes they chuck them away. The issue is finding charger that works with them, so probably the USB slot in the computer, I think they are 3.3 to 3.6 volts, but the charger has to be current limiting I think.

Arran
