Are there any handheld cordless vac models that use NiMH betteries?
The ones I've used so far (DirtDevil, DustBuster) all use NiCd, and
they had really poor charge capacity - all would run out of steam in
1-2 minutes, even though I'd make sure to charge them for several
hours, or even days, prior to use.

I went to the battery store to have the batteries in my DustBuster replaced.
$18 plus tax, ready tommorrow, they quoted.

I went to WalMart and bought a new DustDevil for $17.00.

Your math may vary.
