Default NiZn Batteries

I got tired of replacing teh alkaline batteries my LED flashlights
were eating so started using NiCd. Then discovered they are only 1.3
volts and don't work well and didn't last long for powering LED
flashlights.

I found there are 1.6 volt NiZn batteries and am trying them. Spec
wise it looks like a winner, lots of power, much better discharge
curve. Cost is a little higher (ebay direct from china) but no worse
then NiCds were when they became popular. Now I have a whole bunch of
AAA NiCds I have no use for....
