Default Failure of Rechargeable Battery

Be interesting to know how long the battery packs last.

A neighbor bought a 24V NiCad drill. It came with two
battery packs and
instruction to switch batteries at the first sign that one
was getting
low.

The first time he used it, I reminded him to change
batteries when I saw
a reduction in power. He kept drilling. Continuing to
run current
through a discharged cell could ruin an expensive battery
pack.

That may not be a problem with cameras. I imagine a camera
will quit
working if it's not getting full voltage.
