Re: grid bias with batteries

>>According to my reading of these Archives, if this is done with NiMh cells, the batteries will be continuously charged due to the small amount of grid current.<<

NEGATIVE! NiCd or NiMH rechargeable cells go in the cathode circuit, where they are constantly being trickle charged. You use Lithium cells in the grid circuit and ignore the MINISCULE grid current. Li cells in grid circuit last YEARS.
