Need new set of cordless powertools and debating about the batteries and chargers. I'mgetting nose bleeds just reading all the variables in fast-charge chargers, NiCads, etc. To those home repair vets out there, am I better off getting a set that comes with the type of charger that requires an excessively long initial charge, say 6 to 9 hrs, and then moderate re-charge times (3 to 5 hrs) vs. the fast 1-hr charger types?
What about trickle charges, do those chargers that offer that option really work or do all batteries essentially die the same? I'm really confused....
