Consumer Reports ran an article on batteries about a year ago, I think it was nov 91. They tested standard, alkaline and nicad batteries. I seem to recall radio shack (gasp) had among the best nicads, especially in the D size, which were something like twice the capacity of all other D sized nicads. The reason is that other brands' D nicads were actually C sized nicads camouflaged in D cases. Well worth reading. Rich
