As far as I know, the only advantage to LiIon over NiMH is the increased

They are far better at not self discharging

NiMh if left a few months flatten and destroy themselves

Li-Ion is good for a year or more


That's no longer true, since about 10 years ago when Uniross came out
with Hybrio, and other manufacturers with similar products.Â* Basically
they're just better made NiMH.Â* They don't significantly self discharge,
in fact when you buy them they come already charged.Â* Myself I have AA
NiMH which I've left on a shelf for 2 years and they still measure as
pretty much full.


Well thats news to me and welcome news at that.

Hated NiMh for that exact reason
