Li-ion & Nimh

[John Ferrell]

My personal experience:

I have found the Sanyo NiMh batteries to be superior to Sanyo NiCads in my digital camera. I charge them at C/4.

I have yet to find anyone using NiMh in transmitters that is not happy with the performance. 

For brute force power output NiCads get my vote. 

Just say "no" to anything other than Sanyo!

  I would consider that the most honest summary I have seen to date on this subject.

  Still, he left out a few things. Like the safe circuitry being extremely fragile and failing and the result=fire. It can happen, and it HAS happened. More than a few occasions.

  But unless it affects someone personally, they won't "get it". How many times do you drive down the street, see a wreck, and just go "too bad" and cruise away speeding, without your seatbelt etc anyway? Conversely, if you've ever been in a serious wreck, you know that for a long time after, every time someone pulls up to stop at an adjacent street, you flinch. It's real to you then.
