reason being, NiCD it self has a pretty old battery chemisty, and it doesnt hold a charge like NiMH | |

What brand battery? I know alot of the ebay nicd and nimh are labelled one thing but actually are another so while it may say 6000 on the sticker (suspiciously high if you ask me..) it might actually be a 2100mah or something. The little overnight chargers also just charge until you unplug them so there is no way way to know how much juice actually went in there. Ditch the nicd and get some decent nimh's or lipos if you can swing it.

| how long have you had it? sure sounds like a bad battery to me, or a mis-labeled one. I'd take it back if its not old, and you should easily see 2-3 hours out of that pack.
