I believe it is because in most flash applications, alkaline cells are
current limited. NiCads can supply a MUCH higher current early in the charge
cycle, which an older flash circuit may not be designed to handle. At the
same time, due to their lower voltage than alkalines, NiCads might not
charge such a flash to its maximum voltage and output.
