NiMh is usually considered the most direct replacement of NiCd.
Very carefully
Can be just about anything, from a small button battery for a small LED, to NiCd to Li-Po.
Yes, as long as you use an NiCd charger, but you really shouldn't. NiMh has twice the capacity of NiCd and it is less expensive. NiMh also contains no toxic materials so it is better for the environment.
A 12V battery typically consists of 10 nickel-cadmium (NiCd) cells connected in series. Each NiCd cell has a nominal voltage of about 1.2V, so when 10 cells are combined, they produce the standard 12V output.
NiCd, Lithium, Lood, NiMH, Li-ion, Alkaline. I can't tell you which types are appropriate for your medical device(s), anyway! (NiCd and Lithium battery types must be disposed off properly).

No, but refrigerating NiMh/NiCd batteries will increase their shelf life. Never freeze batteries.
You could replace it with a battery with a higher mAh rating and the battery would last longer between charges. Increasing the voltage (V) may lead to better performance, but it could severely damage the electronics. I would highly recommend NOT increasing the voltage. You could get more than twice the lifetime with an NiMh battery instead of an NiCd. You will need an NiMh compatible charger. I would highly recommend NiMh over NiCd.
Well i charge mine for 2 hours. For me the battery was in an airsoft gun magazine when i was younger. I remember that i over charged it and it broke so i wouldnt go over 2 hours. hope that helps.
The first device designed specifically for use with rechargeable batteries was the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery, introduced in the late 19th century. However, the first commercially successful application of rechargeable batteries was in the 1960s with the introduction of the rechargeable electric drill, which utilized these batteries. This innovation paved the way for the development of various portable electronic devices that relied on rechargeable battery technology.
Hi, you can find these batteries on a lot of places the most known on internet is amazon : http://www.amazon.com/Ryobi-P100-Nicd-Battery-2-pack/dp/B0026SRMZ0
Looks like both are NiMH as NiCd batteries are generally not available for more than 800mAH rating. NiMH are common to have 1600mAH and more rating per AA cell. - Neeraj Sharma
