(2) Their cycle life is 8x longer when charged to 66% capacity, but none of the normal power tool chargers can do it. (3) Packs often die when their electronics refuse recharge after long storage dropped the voltage below the safe minimum. (source, tables 3-4) | |

The prices are always a concern, but since I have about a dozen battery operated tools (Dewalt & Ridgid), i find the cost to replace nicad is dropping a bit, especially Dewalt. | |
