I don't understand this thinking. NiCad cells are 1.2V. NiMH cells are
1.2V NiCads have capacities generally of around 800mAH while NiMH are
near 1300mAH. So why would you get poor performance from NiMH since
they are the same voltage with a greater capacity.
My experiences in flash units is that NiMH act like NiCad except they
last longer.....
Are you sure that all the cells were good under load?
BTW, any 9V battery made with NiCad or NiMH cells will be either 8.4V,
if they're the good ones. or 7.2V if they're cheap....
