Even in the early 90s my good rechargeable batteries (AA) only put out 1.2v when freshly charged and dropped lower than that as they ran. They also ran far shorter than duracell or similar expensive batteries.
So one the voltage may have been too low and two the usable loge might have been too short for these power hungry devices
- RecycledEle 3y agoTrue. Many 1980's electronic devices needed too much power to be run by the NiCd batteries of that era. I failed to learn DC motors, controllers, and gear boxes in part because I lacked batteries powerful enough to drive the small motors I had. (Or maybe I was an idiot:o) Decades later, lithium 18650 cells make it easy for my students.
