Default RE: Futaba dropping all NiCads?


ORIGINAL: summerwind went to buy a 6v 1000mah pack from tower to replace a pack in one of my models, and it says discontinued. looking further i found several other NiCad batteries are discontinued.
i tried to get the answer in the Futaba forum, but am getting the no answer. anyone know anything about this? there were 2 replies in the other thread, but like usual, Bax deleted them right away.........
Question regarding the withdrawal of NiCD batteries answered togetherwith cautions regarding use of the replacement NiMH batteriesat:
Aurora A9 - Battery is not charged. Charge before first use so as not to damage battery.
