I have a cordless WaterPik (M/N WP-360) and it no-longer holds a charge. I have a number of questions:
1. What's the easiest way to determine if it's the battery or the charger that has gone tits-up?
2. It currently uses a 2.4V 1300mAh NiMH battery pack, but I can only find NiCad's with the same specs and dimensions (small enough to fit in the unit).
So, can I replace an NiMH with a NiCad? I know that NiCad is kind of obsolete now, and comes with a whole host of other issues and concerns, but they seem to be pretty cheap and easy to find.
2a. Anyone know of a good place to find a NiMH with these specs?
2b. If I use a NiCad instead, is there a danger in overcharging, or a fire, etc.?
