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. <Lex>
