I noticed the same thing when I rebuilt my packs with NiMH cells. Just
like yours, the Ni-Cd's in my packs were dead when I got them so I don't
have a benchmark to compare against. I rebuilt one pack with 120mAh Varta
cells and the other with the newer 150mAh cells. I found no difference
in performance between the two.

I tried rebuilding the pack using both 13 and 14 cells and found no difference
in performance. I stuck with 13 cells since it fits nicer in the pack.
