When using nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, the battery icon will not indicate
a full charge after freshly charged batteries have been inserted (NiMH batteries
are 1.2 V versus 1.5 V for alkaline batteries). Even though the icon does not indicate
complete charge, 2300 mAH NiMH batteries will achieve 90% of instrument
operation lifetime (before recharge) versus new alkaline batteries.
