Yeah, I would definitely recommend looking for something better than a 1.3Ah ni-cad. That's just about the bottom of the barrel when it comes to rechargeable batteries! Get at least a nickel-metal hydride (NiMh) battery with a rating of 4500mAh (4.5Ah) or more. Lithium is better, but more expensive.
