In the Technical Details it says NiMh; in the Product Description is says NiCAD. Which is it?

Not sure on the NiMH or NiCAD with this particular battery, however; I would suggest ordering the original Bosch Blue Core 18v 2.4ah. The life on the after market batteries is poor

no nicad and lithium are different here is link to info between 2 types hope it helps you, Mar http://www.diffen.com/difference/Li-ion_vs_NiCad

No, and it only does a marginal job on alkaline batteries. I have charged over 100 D, C, AA, and AAA alkaline types and they rarely achieve over 50% energy density of a new battery. Don't expect the recharging ability of a NiMH or a NiCad on an alkaline.

NiCd - they work better in low discharge situations like with solar lights. Plus it's always best to used the type of battery that was in the light before.

NiMH is a nickel-metal hydride battery. The chemical reactions are similar to the largely obsolete NiCd. NiMH use positive electrodes of nickel oxyhydroxide (NiOOH), like the NiCd, but the negative electrodes use a hydrogen-absorbing alloy instead of cadmium. A NiMH battery can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent size NiCd, and their energy density approaches that of a lithium-ion cell.

My pack of AA purchased in January 2015 says 2014. I did not know NiMH goes bad 3 - 4 years. How did you find out this information? I have been using rechargeable batteries for years with no problems without NiMH. I just checked a different package of AAA purchased in January also & it says 2011. Gee your never too old to learn a valuable lesson. Thanks so much for informing me about this. Have a great day. VRLT

I have two that are about a year and a year and a half old and both are NiCad. The newer ones may well be Li/Ion as the other ones, Dewalt, Porter Cable, etc. are going with Li/Ion.

I believe the other two don't know what they are talking about. NiMH batteries hold a charge at about 1.5v when topped off. It should work fine. If this thing doesn't work with NiMH batteries, it would be the first thing I've EVER seen which does not work with NiMH.

It is NiCad. On the other hand, it is easy to drop a set of spare batteries in as they are three standard AAA.

It stands for Nickel Metal Hydride. These are a perfect replacement for the Alkaline non rechargeable batteries. Especially for things like cameras that tend to need a lot of batteries. They can show memory effect so it is good to completely discharge them every now and then.

As far as I know Dewalt does not make a NiMH battery. If you mean NiCad then the lithium battery will last longer per charge and will hold its charge longer on the shelf. NiCad will get a memory if you do not charge them all the way up and then use them all the way down before recharging, Lithium does not have this problem.

I also use SONY NI-MH batteries and I haven't experienced any problems. I think what they meant to emphasize was to use NiMH type of rechargeable batteries. Here is what Olympus recommends: Ni-MH Quick Charger and Battery Set (B-90SU) http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1393&fl=5 "What is the difference between Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NIMH) batteries? Both NiCad and NiMH batteries are rechargeable. The main difference between the two is the fact that NIMH batteries offer higher energy densities than NiCads. In other words, pound for pound, NIMH delivers approximately 30% more capacity than its NiCad counterpart. " Reference: http://www.batterymart.com/c-battery-facts-faqs.html#lith-alk

Sometimes, if a NiCd or NiMH rechargeable battery is repeatedly recharged after being only partially discharged, it may lose its maximum capacity. This is referred to as battery memory. It is as if the battery only "remembers" the smaller capacity. So the product description is stating that this product is not susceptible to this effect.

This is what it says online when I Google your question: NiMH is an improved version of rechargeable batteries, they don't have the memory problem that NiCd's do. The only thing is you will need a special battery charger for them. Since the phone is the charger, then probably not.

Believe one is a NiCad and One is a LithIon battery. The LiIon charges much faster and lasts for ages,

To tell the truth, it depends upon the charger that you are using. If you are using the one that came with battery and simply slides onto the battery, it has no way of knowing when the battery is charged and will keep pumping current into the batter, unless you disconnect it, and will eventually "fry" the battery. Doesn't matter if it is NiCad or NiMh. Do yourself a favor and buy the "Black & Decker FSMVC 9.6-Volt to 18-Volt Slide Style Battery Charger". It regulates the charge and won't fry the battery. I've been using two of them for over a year and have not fried NiMh batteries, so far!

The 20v MAX lithium battery will not fit tools that used the 18v NiCad battery. They are both 18v (nominal) battery packs. It would be less expensive the replace the cells in your NiCad pack with high capacity Ni-mh cells.
