Olympus NiMH battery charger OK for others?greenspun.com : LUSENET : Imaging Resource Discussion : One Thread |
I just got an Olympus D620L. It comes with a NiMH charger and 4 1450mA cells. Is the charger usable with other types of NiMh cells (like Nexcell?)

Absolutely! - Any NiMH charger should work equally well with other NiMH battery brands. One note though, don't mix the two types of batteries on the same charge cycle - mixing different capacity batteries could result in either bad overheating, or undercharging. Also, be sure you're only charging NiMH, not NiCd. The two battery types require rather different charging cycles.
