Li-ion & Nimh (long)

[Jerry Budd]

Wade,

I do not have a lot of experience using NiMH packs (mostly because 
the Li-Ion packs I've been using have worked so well for me) but I 
know many people who do, and I have heard virtually nothing bad about 
them.  They do have somewhat different discharge characteristics than 
NiCads and Li-Ions but that a topic for another post at a later date 
(I'm late for work!).

Have fun, Jerry
