This is not true. The battery that comes with the 3500 (Li-Ion) is not a higher voltage than the Li-Ion battery for the 3400. Although, the 3400 can use a Li-Ion battery or a the NiMH battery for the 5300 and 190. The voltages are slightly different. > > I also have two original 3400 batteries, and I've > noticed that in charging > the two different types, the app My Battery shows a > higher voltage rating on > the 3500 batteries: 16v, compared to max. 14v with > the 3400 batteries. Old Li-Ion batteries will often show a lower voltage than new ones. But, you don't specify if your new batteries are NiMH or Li-Ion. Usually batteries selling for $19 new are NiMH, but they should say on them. > Any risk in using the 3500 batteries? Are those > voltage ratings okay? No risk, they are OK.
