Re: nimh replacement batteries for nicad cordless drill


"Phil Hobbs"

IIRC nickel hydride cells don't have the peak capacity of a similar NiCd,
so they're not as well suited to things like drills, where you need lots
and lots of torque for brief periods.


** Very far from true, nowadays.

The OP has used 3500mAH sub-C size NiMH cells.

These have extraordinary performance compared to any Ni-Cd ever made of the
same case size.

Ask any RC modeller.
