My MD1 pack converted to NiMH by Camtech holds a charge just fine, up to
a month at least. I notice that a day or two after I charge it the test
light will not light, but it runs film through the camera just fine. The
test light does not seem to be a reliable indicator of charge status with
the NiMH, but other than that it functions fine. It sounds like there is
a definate problem with your setup.
