It sounds like you'd recover the cost of a battery charger and a
collection of NiMH batteries pretty quickly. NiMH cells are much much
better than NiCd cells were. They've got higher energy storage, are
less fiddley about charging, and last more charge cycles. And you can
let the charger figure out which are in need of charging.
