Re: Charging Nimh while using it.

The wall charger likely has only voltage regulation circuit. Hmm i don't think so, the wall charger has an extra little box attached. This is what it looks like : http://www.vapextech.nl/NiMH-batterijladers-oplaadbare-batterijen/Lader-voor%E2%80%93NiMH-RC-accupacks Battery : http://www.vapextech.nl...

Thanks, that clears things up for me! I tested my cable with a multimeter and it turns out it's the MP3-version.
