True, but I get tired of buying expensive replacement batteries for my battery-powered tools!

The old NiCad batteries from the 80s were only good for about 1000 charges and suffered "memory" if you didn't fully discharge them every time. I have never needed to replace a NiMH battery and they are charge-at-will with no memory. Been using them nearly every day for 5 years. The only way to go if you do a lot of track work and need full portability IMO.
