4x1.2=4.8v 4x1.5=6v 4x1.6=6.4v was the worry. It was pointed out that the
JBL has a power regulator, so it should handle the difference in voltage, but there
could still be an issue of how the JBL handles the discharge curve. You would
expect that it could do a little better than the 1.5v primary batteries, but who
knows? I haven't encountered the lock-up that some reported, but these new
batteries could be a way to avoid that, as well.

I've wanted to try these, myself. (Three sets of batteries and chargers? Well
why not? I've got a few things that use them.)

Thanks for the heads up.

Luck;
Ken
