I also raised an eyebrow at the NIMH choice.  I have abandoned them here
because of their inferior self-discharge characteristics.  Unless you use
them often, they are usually dead when you need them.  One of the key
parameters I look at when purchasing battery powered electronics or tools is
the battery technology.  I no longer buy NIMH, but only one of the more
recent Li Ion chemistries, which hold their charge quite well over time.
