I picked up a PrincetonTec Miniwave LED cheap the other day - my question is this:

Can you use NiMH batteries in the Miniwave? - the reason I ask this is that there is a rechargable version of the torch for considerably more $$$. From what I can see the rechargable model comes with "Industrial Nicad Battery Pack, and Charger" - they also state that the rechargable models can simply be converted to a "non recharge" model by simply using alkaline batteries. My assumption is that it is the same torch - except you are paying more for the batteries and charger, and that you should be able to use NiMH batteries in the "standard" model.

If someone can help - it would be appreciated - as I have sent 3 messages to PrincetonTec and they have yet to reply.
