Don... thanks for the advice. I assume it's because of the recharging circuit in the SAT II not being compatible with the NiMH, correct? Also, I noticed that they are only 1.2 volts each and 4 would only produce 4.8 volts rather than 6. My old NiCad's were only 1.2 each also and I think that's why sometimes some notes were not read by the SAT or sometimes the lights seemed dimmer than normal. Anyway, thanks for the prompt reply and help. Larry Trischetta >Larry, >You will need nicads.
