Hello, Thomas:

Uh-oh! I feel compelled to report your family to ASSDECT (i.e., American
Society Solely Dedicated to Ethical Camera Treatment).

Hello, Thomas:

I've no idea, as I'm just a dummy, where electrical/electronic matters
are concerned. <g>

By the way, I also put Ni-MH cells in my other two Rotomatics, with the
same successful results as the original one.

Moreover, I've often left each shaver on its charging stand, for a whole
week, at least (without using it); never experienced any ill effects,
whatsoever.

It was against my will, but perhaps there is hope that I may recover the
camera yet.

We have more to fear from the bungling of the incompetent than from the
machinations of the wicked.
