Ni-CAD life span

Recommended Posts

What is the life span for a Ni CAD battery pack? I've just charged and used one SAFT pack that's been in storage for over 20 years (along with the Celica Grb) and it works perfectly. Is that normal?

I think nicads store well because they are ok being totally flat. You might find the run time isn't great until you've run a few charge/discharge cycles.

Must try that Butler. check the run time after several charge/discharge cycles and see if they are really any good for general use.

I have a 25+ year old Tamiya 6v pack that is in near perfect working order (it did surprise me and I wouldn't say it's the norm).
