Batteries for old DECT phone - NiCads or NiMH?

Chris

I have an old Philips Onis Vox 6611 which I bought in 1999 and it was
fitted with two AA NiCad batteries, which have now expired.
AFAIK NiCads are no longer available - so can I use NiMH?
Any restrictions?
Will any NiMH batteries work?
Can I just get some from B&Q?
Will they charge properly?

I'm sure you can still buy NiCds, they're better than NiMh for some
applications. Take a look on Ebay.

Four 600mah NiCads from Poundland for a quid. Can't go wrong for a quid.

Just remember to run 'em flat before charging.

Four for a quid? Forget it, abuse them and ditch them when they die. Of
course, you could invest in a processor controlled discharge/charge
station with dV/dT monitoring and automatic cell profiling you can
export to an Excel spreadsheet to match cells and monitor cell
degradation for optimising replacement strategies but, FOUR FOR A QUID,
how's about we don't worry about all that?

And so does anyone who's bought something of eBay that comes with free
batteries chucked in. It makes me smile when I see two of the orange and
white batteries in the picture, and the seller claims they're worth n*£1...
