<< Yeah, but my question specific to the M.18 grip, is what is the effect, if
any, of using 12 1.2v bats, NiCd or NiMh for a nominal voltage of 14.4v
versus 12 1.5v alkalines, disposable or otherwise producing the rated 18v?

We had a long discourse on this a few years back ,check the archives. My
memory is that 15V is the maximum voltage if you use batteries that have low
internal resistance, like NiCds. This was based on reading the service manual
for the MD and doing a bit of reading between the lines on what voltages were
used in the specs. Alkalines have a relatively high internal resistance, so
the voltage drops from 18V to around 15V anyway under load. Remember, the AC
control pack power supply for AC line operation of the MD only supplies 15V.
