I saw a catalog, published by some people in (I think) Sebastopol, and
they listed some non-NiCad rechargeable batteries.  The advantages
were (I think) no memory effect and more oomph per charge.  I even
called them on the phone to ask about the batteries, and they were
most helpful.

Unfortunately, I managed to lose the catalog.  Does anyone out there
recognize what/who I'm talking about?  If you've got more info on the
batteries, that would be nice, too -- I noticed that "1.5V" NiCads
seem to really be 1.2 volt batteries, which might or might not be
good enough for bicycle headlights and running a walkman.

By the way, after looking at sci.environment, I think there's
something to be said for low traffic.

Thanks much, in advance,

David
