It seems that Radio Shack sells AA NiCads for about $2 each while GE
sells them for twice as much, about $4 each. They are both the same
size, AA, same voltage, 1.2 V, and the same capacity, about 450 mA-Hr.
(the capacity is roughly ten times the recommended charging current
which is 45 mA) Finally, they are both made in Mexico. The obvious
choice seems to be Radio Shack. Have I overlooked anything?
