Source for quality NiCad batteries

[jwl]

I am looking for a reliable online retailer to purchase some NiCad C-cells from. I would appreciate any suggestions for brand(s) and vendors (retailer).

Which brands aren't good?

Thanks.

I went with the Sanyo Cadnicas from Tower Hobby and have them already.

Why the heck would you want NiCds in 2007?

Sanyo Cadnica is the best NiCad I have struck.

Battery Station?

They are a workhorse for extreme applications, in my case the daily charge/discharge cycle of solar lamps.

Because I need lower drain than Nimh, these are going to go into a battery powered TV / weather radio, and It doesn't get used that often.

The TV / weather radio uses (9) 1200Mah C-cells right now and I'd like to at least double if not triple (or more) my run time.

I used to use NiCad's for applications like that but so far the low self discharge NiMH's are working ok.

www.batterystore.com (TNR technical) sells Sanyo Cadnica. I've purchased from them many times and recommend them (and Sanyo NiCd's).
