Whites 6000/Di series 3
Hi,

In the 80-ies I did a lot of searching here in Holland. After that, I stopped for over 10 years. Now I did take my Whites Coinmaster 6000/Di series 3 out again and plan to do some searching again.

As the original accu is long 'done', I want to buy 4 new rechargeable R14 size batteries to fit my normal battery pack. But these are all 1,2 Volts. A normall battery is 1,5 Volts.

As an 'electric trick' nitwit, I would like to know if I can use these rechargeables? And, if so, what mAh to take?

Or is there another solution?

Thx
Hans
 

ok...
as nobody seems to reply as quickly as hoped, I think I have to take the risc and buy these batteries hoping they work... ::)

You should be fine with the rechargeables. They are rated at a lower voltage but they hold that voltage longer while alkalines drop off even lower.

mah's is like your gas tank.. The higher the mah's the larger the gas tank.. so you'll run longer..

bought me 4 of 3000 mAh

The ones of 4000 mAh were much more expensive...
