I have a lawn edger with an electric start that is powered by 4x sub C
nicads. They have died and the charger has long gone missing.

So, you can replace both the nicads AND the charger? Get a
quad of NiMH AA cells and charger, and a four-cell battery holder,
and fire 'er up!

AA cells are longer than sub C and may not fit the housing. Sub C cells
are readily available in tagged versions so they can be soldered easily.

Although you might be able to get AAs with nominally the same capacity as
sub C they may not be able to deliver the same current.
