As Linux already sayd, it's our Delta-Peak of 0.05 v. NiMH have that,
too, but there "negative temperaturecoefficient" is not so high, so
the voltage drops not so much.

No, it doesn't. It's charging with it's full power of ~ 330mA max.
(lower amperage if the battery voltage gets higher because of the
lower difference |power-supply-voltage - battery-voltage|).

Bye, Uwe.
