RE: power tool batteries

A lot of the older cordless drills are NiCad batteries which don't have the
goot weight/power ratio as NiMH or Lithuim Ion.  I have an old Makita 9.6v
NiCad that is the long skinny batteries that should be easier to wear than
most of the new style that are a big block that attach to the end of the
drill handle.  I have seen that Makita sell a newer drill with the same
battery shape in a 9.6V NiMH setup in the chain hardware stores for around
$100.  The price of the kit (drill, charger, battery or 2) is cheaper than
buying the components seperatly and the Newer NiMH should be better than the
NiCad.

One day I was looking at my cordless drill and was
pondering the use of cordless power tool batteries for
a wearable computer. I know the makita power tools
have an external batery charger. I would assume
batteries and a charger are available seperatly. What
are other peoples thoughts on using these types of
batteries on a wearable computer?
