Jan,

That's at the high end of the price range, but in the range.  From my
perspective, the BIG test is whether it holds a charge or not.

As for NiMH, there are instructions for rebuilding the batteries (just
search on battery and MD2), but the consensus is you do NOT want to use
NiMH.  I won't repeat the details here, but it is in the archives.  There is
a company that will sell you, for a reasonable price, a prebuilt battery
that is pretty easy to put in.  Can't remember the URL (somebody jump in),
but I THINK it was www.maxxprod.com  You have to tell them it is for an
Olympus Winder (OK, they don't know the difference) and I think it was about
US$35.
