    Be VERY carefull... I tried rechargeable alkalines like that one and in
about 4 months inside the equipament it started to put that "blue thing"
out. They leak exactly like the non rechageable alkaline cells ! They are
great for toys but not for equipament that needs backup. The super cap might
be a better idea. It has been some years since I tried them, they may have
changed, but check it out before. The "blue stuff" corrodes everything
inside the equipament.

Best regards,
