That answered some questions. I was told that if I cycle the NiMh battery, I could find out if a cell was possibly dead, causing failure. What would I look for. I was also told that since the NiCD sat for such a long time if i cycled it once or twice i could revive it, is that true?

On a somewhat unrelated note, does anyone know/have the manual the GWS-MC2002 or ACE R/C Pro Series Smart Charge Chargers?
Thanks again for the articles, a lot of good advice.
