i'll give this a shot. NICD stands for nickel-cadmium, i think thats right. and NIMH stands for Nickle metal hydride.only certain chargers will work because NIMH requires alot more of a charge, which will burn up most chargers. the main difference is Nimh will give you longer run times, but of course their more $$$$... as for the radio, which radio are you looking at? cant really tell you the range if i dont know what your looking into.. hope i helped, and if im wrong someone please correct me

Nicads have memory and have to be completely drained before they should be charged. For batts you wanna get nimh and if you want a good starter radio go with a jr x 2i or a futaba magunm 2pl.
