I find nicads in drills last about two years. You got your use out of
them.


Usually nicads are rated in how many charge cycles they can take. Around
300 to 600 cycles. I think that a partical charge is also a partical
cycle
but not sure. Some rechargables are just rated in number of years even
if they are not used very often.


True, LiOn Cells will only have a useful life of about two years, after
that they should be replaced, the same is true for LiPo batteries.

I keep hearing this. My real world experience is otherwise.
