Steven...New NiCads are not available in stores now, having been banned due Cadmium content...All NiMH these days.

Your Statement is particaly incorrect, yes withdrawn retail but freely avalible Trade and still currently only battery type approved for self contained emergency lighting

I still use and recommend Sub C NiCd batteries where possible.
They have twice the recharge capability (Sanyo claim 1000 -v- 500) when compared to NiMh and do not self discharge anywhere near as quickly as NiMh.
Yes they can develop the dreaded memory effect if incorrectly charged, but, that can be broken quite easily and then a NiCd pack can be rejuvenated.
Be careful using AA rechargeables for any serious load. The LSD AA cells such as ENELOOP are much better than straight NiMh cells, but, even so, if you charge - discharge at more than 1 amp with them, you WILL shorten their life in terms of the number of recharges they can achieve.
Buy yourself a good quality smart charger to look after the cells properly.
