Ni-Cd batteries have incredibly small internal resistances, and because
of that shorting the terminals can produce BIG currents and start fires.
Then again, the small internal resistance makes them behave like the book
says they are supposed to behave--you don't see the voltage across the
battery drop when you add more bulbs in parallel, for instance.

But I'm telling you, they're a real pain to recharge every night.
