I have brought some 2/3 A ones some time back and can't seem to find the firm that I got them from,
but I am now after some SUB C Nicads at some 1500mha or larger.


Any one know of a NZ firm that has some in stock..


Thanks

Try Tesa electronics in Penrose, Auckland. http://www.tesa.co.nz. They
have good range of batteries, and repack powertool battery packs so should
have most of the non-consumer sizes.

Not sure about NiCd tho, aren't they are dead technology? why not switch
to NiMH?

To my knowledge their prices are better than most retailers.

you will need to select "batteries" and the sub category "NI-MH
or Ni Cad whichever you want.

Thanks, I will give Tesa a look but last time from memory they did not list the 2/3 A cells

NiMH have high internal drain, there are some AA cells made by Sanyo that are listed with low
internal drain, they hold a charge of 90% after 6 months and 85% after one year.

Jaycar is probably best for Sub C.
If you need 2/3 A again, I bought some from www.sicom.co.nz
They weren't cheap, but they were the only ones that had them at the time.

It depends. If you're rebuilding power tool batteries, you need NiCd.
NiMH cells have a higher internal resistance than NiCd, which is important
for very high peak drain applications such as power tools, R/C models etc.
