I have a drill/driver with two batteries. One battery is losing its charge rapidly so I thought I would have a bash at soldering up a new set of sub-d cells. The current ones (12 @ 1.2volts) are NICD. I have heard that NIMH do not suffer from the same memory problems as NICD so I have two questions. First, is it true about NIMH being less prone to memory problems and secondly will the charger (it is one of these one hour fast charge jobbies) work OK with NIMH? While we are at it, are there any gotchas I need to know about?
