Internal Supply:

reading this section.

Battery-Types:
Alkaline Batteries:
This battery type you cannot use for a Timy with a built in printer. Also at cold
temperatures Alkaline batteries are not suitable. At –20°C (-4F) there is only a capacity
of about 10% left.
If you use the Timy very often we also do not recommend this battery, since the costs for
new batteries are high and it is cheaper to use rechargeable batteries. Further it is better
for the environment to use rechargeable batteries.
NiCd-Rechargeable Batteries:
This battery we recommend when the Timy is used in cold temperatures. The NiCd
rechargeable battery is available with different capacity. We recommend the 1000 mAh
type.
For use at less than 5°C (41F) and if you use a Timy with build in printer no other battery
than the NiCd are recommended.
NiMH- Rechargeable Batteries:
This rechargeable battery we recommend at temperatures below 5°C (41F). At low
temperatures the NiCd have more capacity, but a room temperatures NiMH batteries
have up to 1.5 times more capacity.

never use Alkaline Batteries
use NiCd-rechargeable batteries, since Alkaline
batteries and also NiMH rechargeable batteries are
very bad at freezing temperatures (they loose most of
the capacity).
