I got 15 years out of a set of nicads in a portable vacuum cleaner, and 18 years out of a set in a Philips shaver. Some Nicads I neglected dropped their bundle inside of 2 years. Battery life depends on correct charging (and discharging). Cheers Billy 8-{) |

Partal discharge and recharge and you will find that you get less and less active time out of a set. Best to keep NiCads as a set as well so all in a set get equal discharge and recharge times. We use rechargables of various sorts in a lot of the camera gear (both still and Tv) that we have and providing proper care is taken they will return the favour. |
