- Consumer Reports ran an article on batteries about a year ago, I think
- it was nov 91. They tested standard, alkaline and nicad batteries.
- I seem to recall radio shack (gasp) had among the best nicads, especially
- in the D size, which were something like twice the capacity of all other
- D sized nicads. The reason is that other brands' D nicads were actually
- C sized nicads camouflaged in D cases.
- Well worth reading.
