NiMH and NiCd have very similar charging and discharge
characteristics. NiMH batteries often come with better quality
chargers and it is this rather than their fundamental characteristics
which make a difference. NiMH have a slightly higher charge capacity
than NiCd for a given weight.

Is that really true? Are NiCds a lot less dense then? Eg AAs - what's the
capacity of a good NiMH vs NiCd these days? (2500 vs 700 mAH?)
