Even though they are larger and heavier I think for cordless stuff I prefer nicad as long as you fully discharge on a regular basis they do not build a memory and last a long time. Thank you for all of the great info now that I am educated a little I should at least be able to maximize the life of my batteries.

I second this sentiment. knowledge is power.
My devices are hardly ever unplugged. They live on various devices that provide power around the home (like that spare usb socket on the router that no-one ever uses for example, or the TV, or the Fibre link etc etc...)
Hopefully this wont hurt them too much as the simplicity of never actually worrying about if they are on charge is better for me.
(heck even the one on the piano is constantly charged by the nearby telephone hehehe)
Please please please santa make my device live for ever and a day. thanks.
