$40? Ouch! I think you're shopping in the wrong place. My 3300 nimhs were about $30. In any case, the Venom 1800 NiCads are super cheap $13, and are actually a good pack. You can abuse 'em and they just take it.

No quick release? Ever since I got one, my batteries never slid out the side of my car. I kind of like them.
