Well after reading about the Voltage end point differences between the
NiCAD and the NiMH cells I can understand why. The user counld be
taking a chance on damaging the radio as at times
overcharging(overheating) the Battery can cause caustic chemical
leakage.
IF they gave any sort of Approval that could shift Liability to ICOM.
