Where do you buy NiCd in AA these days?

[NeoPTLD]

My cordless mouse goes through a pair of batteries every other week and I'm considering using NiCd. They need to be NiCd, because NiMH has a way too high self discharge despite the higher capacity.

Eveready/Energizer stopped making NiCd and Radio Shack stopped carrying them. Where to get them?

I believe Harbor Freight sells them instore if you have them nearby. Oh, and occasionally I've seen them at big lots. I don't really shop there much, so, big YMMV.

I don't buy batteries at my AA meetings.

Li-on?

I like BatteryStation for this. They also sell cordless-phone specific battery packs.

The self discharge is not a major issue. NiCd has ~1%/day and NiHM has ~3%/day.
NiMH has much higher capacity than NiCd.
