In reply to Raj. NiMh are a bit safer, but we were trying to show a variety of charging scenarios through the tutorials. Most of our products use LiIon / Lipos. One big downside of NiMH is that they charge less efficiently than Lipos and take more energy to store each Watt hour of power.

Thanks for the amazing diy solar charger.
I was wondering why li-ion batteries should not be used in this simple charger.
Is it that nimh batteries are more safe than the li-ion chemistry ?
