Ni-Cad, Li-Ion, Or Ni-MH Battery Replacement For Streamlight Stinger?

I have two older model Streamlight Stinger flashlights. Both have been back to Streamlight for the LED bulb upgrade. Both still have the original style Ni-Cad battery sticks, but one battery has ceased to take a charge.

So, I searched online and find that there are alternatives available now. Apparently, I don't have to replace my Ni-Cads with Ni-Cads. I can also get Lithium Ion or Nickel Metal Hydride batteries.

Which is the best choice?

    Have you considered a thermal battery?


    The flashlight will only work once but it will perform great!

    Seriously though, I would go Li-Ion.

    Li all the way. There's no comparison until the rumored liquid metal batteries come around.

    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Li- ion and by a wide margin.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain
