Hi Paul, If you go to a battery depot you will find that nicads come in more than one "flavor" i.e. some have more *stuff* inside. Look for 1600 milliamp-hour version and you will have excellent battery life. Under charging nicads is a sure way to reduce lifespan. As is charging before they are flat. They should be good for 1000 cycles if you are careful. I do remember someone made up a "battery pack" to plug in their SAT if the internal battery was discharged--it seemd like a wonderful idea, but then I changed to another product--and had no need for it. >I had my batteries replaced >by Sanderson recently, and I think they said 14 hours charge time.
