That's an interesting heresy. Care to share where you got this information?
Most of us have switched to NiMH because of the nicad's notorious self-discharge
effects. That's why they were invented.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-
-
-if you charge up a nicad it will retain the charge for quite some
-time.
-a NiMh battery by comparison will self discharge in about a week.
-they charge quicker but need to be fully charged just prior to use for
-the best effect.
