> The NiCad batteries have been discontinued, and have been replaced with nickel hydride batteries. This is an improvment, in that the nickel hydride batteries do not have the memory characteristics that the nicad batteries do. You should be able to obtain the nickel hydride batteries > from any Hasselblad dealer, or you can order them directly from the Hasselblad parts department in New Jersey. Their telephone number is (973) 227-7912; ask for Rick.

The recharge time for a fully discharged battery (both the NiCad and the nickel hydride type) is 14 hours. If charging 2 fully discharged batteries, the recharge time is 28 hours.

Repeated over-charging of either type battery will eventually cause the battery to swell up and explode. Do not over-charge them!

Hi, Hasselblad in the Netherlands sells new batteries. Not Varta's but a new type, probably Nimh. Hasselblad in your country pobably has them too.
