If you're handy with a soldering gun you can search the web for 'nicad

Wrong. They are called solder tabs. See: http://www.megabatteries.com/?cat1=35
I've rebuilt several battery packs by soldering the tabs and have
never had a problem with the batteries.

I don't care what those fools call them. They are *NOT* solder tabs. They're
intended to be spot welded.
