| Ni-Mh's are better in my opinion because they don't have the "memory effect". You have to discharge NiCad batteries before recharging or they will be damaged. And change your avatar...its waaay massive. - Quote :
- • PERFORMANCE: NiMH batteries will greatly out-perform standard NiCd batteries in high-drain applications.
• VOLTAGE: The power produced by the battery. Both NiMH and NiCd have virtually the same voltage.
• MEMORY EFFECT: NiMH batteries can be charged or “topped-off” at any time without affecting battery life. In order to achieve optimum performance from NiCd batteries, they must be fully discharged before recharging. Unlike NiCd batteries, NiMH has No Memory Effect.
• ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: NiMH batteries have no Cadmium added. Cadmium is hazardous to the environment. | |
