OK, so where's the best place to buy NiMh batteries?
I checked at the local Big Lots and all they have is a few NiCads.

Last time I needed a few in a hurry I got them off a rack at Home
Despot.

Except for very noncritical applications (toys?), I'd avoid the
generic batteries, they don't always live up to their specifications.

BTW, don't use NiMH for things like emergency flashlights, they have a
high self-discharge rate. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany

i have learned a lot from this thread and now understand some of the
tradeoffs. the newer cordless phones are a maze of choices and one
major factor is that at some point the current draw demands NiMH and
the talk/standby time goes _down_.
