Why are NiCd batteries still sold?

[treez]

NiCd has been banned for all applications bar emergency lighting.

so i would imagine that the price of nicd has rocketed, as it just wont be manufactured in volume any more.......so why are people still buying nicd instead of nimh?

nicd has NO advantages over nimh..surely?
