Question about using rechargeable batteries

Page 146 of the *ist D manual refers to "in-MH" batteries, when discussing the D-BG1 grip, which I take to be either a misprint, or an alternative acronym for "NIMH". On page 12 it spells "NIMH" conventionally when discussing batteries types for the camera body (and saying they are OK to use).
I can't think of any reason on earth why NIMHs should be OK in the camera, but not in the grip.
Of all the battery sites I have seen, not one says that NIMH's are unsuitable for cameras or flash-guns. I use them in my flash-guns and *ist D and can report no problems. They won't be mentioned in your ZX-5n manual because they weren't around when it was printed.

So you saying that I can use NiMH rechargeable batteries with Pentax ZX-5N with battery pack? It wouldn't be any problem with voltage? If it's so - that's great! Thank you.
