About 5 years ago I bought some AA nicads for a Vivitar flash unit.  They
are still in the flash, although they now discharge themselves within a
few days even when not used.  For the first 3 years they performed
superbly, requiring recharging only every month or two or after some
large (> 100) number of flashes.  Does anyone else have an experience like this,
or has the quality gone way down?
