thanks
Pros:

No need for discharging
Better MAH (For minis, 600 MAH on a nicad vs 1100 MAH on a nimh)
Good for stock guns
Pretty new technology

Cons:

Shitty in winter
Very picky on heat (If you charge to long or charge on a higher ampage you'll cook the battery)
Not good for upgraded guns (Nicads have a better discharge rate than nimh)

The discharge thing can be fixed if you buy BB Bastard chargers and use them with nicads, NPT technology doesnt need discharging.
