Upgrade NiCd to NiMH Battery Pack Easily Yourself

Driveway Dudes Paul shows you how you can easily upgrade your old NiCd battery pack to a NiMH battery pack cheaply and easily.

For under €5 you can do it yourself.

Paul removes an old NiCd memory pack and replaces it with a memory free pack.

The old pack was 9.2V 700mAh and the new is 9.2V 2600mAh.
NiMH batteries don't take the load as well as NiCd and are said to drain twice as quick so 2600mAh would realistically convert to 1300mAh which is still almost twice that of the old pack.

Being memory free, the NiMH pack can be charged as often as you wish.

Think safety when using tools.
Make sure you have the correct charger for NiMH. Some NiCd chargers will but not all can charge NiMH safely.
NiCd are not environment friendly and are considered toxic. Please dispose of your old batteries as per your local Laws.
