Could I use NiMH in place of my NiCad?

Where can you buy rechargeable batteries such as Panasonic 1.2 Volt
which
are designed to be soldered. I took apart my battery packs for my 18
volt
cordless drill and they have 15 NiCad batteries which say Panasonic
07-99.
They are wrapped in brown paper and made in Japan. Thanks

The yellow pages.

Look for a Battery Store, usually under the "batteries" Heading.

If you are in a center that does not have one of those, look under
"toys" and "hobbies" for stores that deal to the radio control car or
airplane folks. Solder tab cells are stock in trade for these guys.
Typically they will want to know what capacity you want and what size
cells you need. Normal for cordless tools wouls be what's called a "sub
C" cell and they can be had with capacities from 1100 milliamp/hour on
up to aroud 4000 mah. Pick a capacity that is about 10 times the rated
output of the charger, for NiCad cells.
