Leaking battery ?



Hi !

    I've a 701C and two batteries. One NiMh and a NiCad.
    One big problem is that sometimes both batteries are fully charged, and
    when I switch battery, the other one (the newly inserted one) gets
    DRAINED !

    Eg.1
    One NiCad battery in the system, I wanted to use the NiMh one, so I
    switched, I jsut charged both batteries 3 hours ago. Ended up, the
    battery meter showed 20% only for the NiMh

    Eg.2
    This time the NiMh is in the system, after switching in a new NiCad
    battery, the system beeped, showed 0% and switched back to suspend!

    Is it me or is my system fussy about battery changes ? I suspended the
    system, even switched it off, but to no avail, no matter what, 60% of
    the time of battery swapping, energy gets drained ! (I mean it,
    DRAINED, charging time is the same!)
    Is it becoz of the fact I have two types of batteries ?
    BTW, is the LiIon batteries that can be used with 701C out ? (Or will
    they ever be ?)
