The batteries that come with the Portadisc are NIMH. They don't
recommend Nicads.

The places I buy from it's 1800 - 1900 mAh as the highest capacity
currently available from a fair list of manufacturers. I just got in
some new GP 1900 mAh for my Portadisc. I used 1800's this year.
I kind of left Ebay for the batteries as there was a lag on the newest
batteries showing there at a good price. And a lot of the ones sold were
seconds. And others like the 9.6volt NIMH rechargables I get never have
showed up at all. I get my chargers that way, however.
