** FFS - get some real information.


and it sez longer (than NiMh) life cycles for NiCd.



** Absolute nonsense.

The number of cycles quoted by makers is a complete fantasy that has almost
nothing to do with any real life application.

Wiki quotes 2000 cycles for NiCd, but gives no source for that mad claim.

IME, treat NiCd or NiMH cells with great care and you can expect a few
hundred cycles - do anything careless ( overcharge or overheat) and you
can ruin them in one day.
