- My experience seems to be that the hp95 has hysterisis so that once the
- low battery warning comes on, it won't go away until the battery
- voltage goes above some higher (2.7 volts?) threshold. Nicads don't
- put out enough voltage to push the hp95 over the top. If I leave
- nicads in the machine long enough to get the low-voltage warning, I
- need to put regular batteries in first to turn off the voltage warning,
- and then I can switch to Nicads.
