Hi, Tracy,
 
I'll confirm your info about abuse of NiCads shortening their lifespan: I
inadvertently let the NiCads in my Booster Pak charge for more than 24 hours
(the manual recommends 14, max).  Now, even "fully charged", they won't run
more than 20-40 minutes, when they used to be good for up to 8 hours.  Alas.
