Soldering apprentice me has attached wires to my R2 battery contacts,
with which I can hook up an external power source.

Up till now I have removed the batteries when hooking up said external
power source, a 12V to 3V transformer.

If I don't remove the batteries, then I will have the batteries in
parallel connection with my external power source.  Batteries are 1.2*2=2.4
V, external power source is 3 V.

What risks will occur if I don't remove the batteries? "Cell
reversal"?  Unnecessary load on external power source "recharging" the
NiCd or NiMH batteries, etc.?
