So is this a NI-MH battery or a Ni-CD?

Ni-CD. This battery is strong. Lets the Roomba run for over an hour on a charge.

The Gizmo comes with Ni-Cd batteries. Ni-Cd chargers only support Ni-Cd batteries so I wouldn't try another technology in the Gizmo. Simple Guidelines: - A charger for NiMH can also accommodate NiCd, but not the other way around. A charger especially designed for NiCd would overcharge the NiMH battery. - Nickel and lithium based batteries require different charge algorithms. The two chemistries can normally not be interchanged in the same charger.

Are these batteries similar to Ni-MH or lithium batteries? I need Ni-MH or lithium. The item description only says the charger will charge Ni-MH, it doesn't say if the ones includes are Ni-MH.

The unit calls for an AAA Ni-MH rechargeable battery, however there is a small tag within the unit that states to use JVC replacement batteries. These cost about $24 shipped for a pair. The unit WILL work with standard Ni-MH batteries with the following simple fix: Trim the plastic wrapping 1/4" off the bottom (negative side) of the battery just like the original ones are. There is an internal contact within the headphones that it makes on the battery edge and not on the end as would be expected. JVC came up with a simple method to make certain we only use their batteries.

The spare battery is a 7.2V 3000mah Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery. I replaced all connectors with Deans Connectors.

don't know of a ni-cad battery that will fit. If a 12V ni-cad would fit it would work.

The battery should fit. It is not black and grey but red and grey. It is a ni-cad and not ni_mh.

I don't know for sure but I did find this information from another poster. "The battery I found in my units:Troily 1.2 volt 80mAh Ni-MH button batteryThere may be different battery manufacturers used depending who got the battery supplier contract on that batch. The important info is the size and power.The battery has a connecting "fork" so you will need to solder 2 points to replace the battery, it's as easy as soldering gets. I believe I've seen the battery available for about $1.50 on the web.Do not open the unit unless you are prepared to replace the solder-installed battery. There is nothing in the unit that should be played with, and there is a lead that is easy to break that will require more soldering should you break it."

18V Ni-MH is what it is I think it's hard to find much on it. And last 1.5 hour. I hope that helps you!

I do not believe so--while these were bought for my husband by me, he made a big deal about being sure to get the lithium charger and said the Ni-Cd wouldn't work as his Ridgid tools took the lithium batteries. Probably right since I bought the wrong chargers for my black and decker lawn tools and it was for the wrong battery type. I hope this helps!

Oops, you missed that part...just opened mine and read the materials...the instructions are fully 20% about opening the battery compartment (remove 2screws), and its proper disposal. The battery is close paraphrase "3.6V nickel-cadmium 1300mha rechargeable/recyclable" per instruction sheet that came with it.

Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are later technology than Nickel Cadmium batteries and don't have, for example, as much "memory effect" as Ni-Cad batteries (but are still not as good as Lithium Ion batteries that are used for everything these days). More importantly, the battery has to fit and have the same voltage as the original. Chances are, if it doesn't say it fits the 561 series, it doesn't (but I don't know about those details).

thanks, had canon on phone today and they said any nickel metal Ni-MH is ok, - i'd suggest people verify that themselves with canon, but doesn't have to be the canon brand charger they said. would like to read your other reviews nlee, how do i do that?

It could possibly mean that you are using the wrong type of battery. (li-ion vs NIMH)

Ni-Cad batteries are the older technology ones. NiMH and Lithium are the newer ones and should be purchased when possible. Also, charge your phone overnight then take it out of the charger until it needs charging again. Don't leave it in the charger stand all the time, this "cooks" the battery and shortens the life.

The battery is Universal Voltage: 100 to 240V~50/60Hz built into the unit. As a user I don't know whether it's ni-cad or lithium ion and haven't owned it long enough to have experienced an issues with the battery. I DO know it works well and I am thrilled with the performance of the unit.

The Ni-MH is newer technology and has twice the density for longer runtime than that of the older Ni-CD battery. Don't know if it will work in the Roomba 561. I think it is important to match up the batterys mAh value.
