Correct me if im wrong but I think NiMH batteries generally provide at least 30% more battery life than NiCd batteries and take approximately 20% longer to charge. NiMH batteries are also considered more "environmentally friendly" than NiCd batteries and are not susceptible to memory effect. (Memory Effect refers to a NiCd battery's inability to be charged to full capacity over time.)
Hope this helps

Dont know the name for the information, but i know the information group....
1 Has the memory effect, however holds a strong charge till the battery gets close to the end...
2 doesnt have the memory effect. It doesnt hold as strong of a charge when the MAH is low... Laptops use these.
Correct me if im wrong

NiMH - Nickel Metal Hydride
NiCd - Nickel Cadmium
Pyro has the basics correct.
NiMH provide high power densities (ie more mAh in the same size battery compared with NiCd).
NiMH have very little memory effect and better "shelf" life in a charged state than NiCd.
Of course, all this leads to NiMH batteries costing more than NiCd batteries.
The only way that NiMH isn't superior to NiCd is in cost.
