How to recharge new NiCad battery
I bought a new 18 volt cordless drill-driver
that has 1200 mAh recharceable NiCad battery.
What is the best way to get longest battery
life out of it?
Alzerimers setting in? Can't remember if you
completely discharge first or fully charge to
get longest life.

Completely discharging just about any multicell battery will reverse charge some
cells
and likely ruin them. Fully charge it. Try reading the instructions to be sure.

What kills nicads is over charging- getting it hot and over discharging
when running, when the drill start to slow its dead, let the battery
rest a day inbetween charges, just charge it and use it. Im sure your
new charger wont over charge it it monitors peak level.

Use it frequently(use it or lose it),recharge after use.
Don't put away a disharged battery.
Use a fast charger,1 hr lor less,not those 3-5hr chargers.
Use a "smart" charger that doesn't overcharge the pack.

also,RTFM.

Note NiCd cells have a self-discharge rate;they slowly discharge just being
stored.(thus "use it or lose it")

(1200mAH seems kinda low,most packs are 2200mAH or better)
