Are my unused Ni-Cd batterys still ok?

I've found an old emergency light conversion kit that used Ni-Cd batery packs. It's unused and i assume never fitted. Will the battery packs still take a charge and hold a charge? It doesn't matter if the output is less as i only need them for domestic use, not a comercal application where they need to last at least 2 hours.

Depends on how old they are. Ni-Cads are just like a car battery, if they left unused and uncharged in time they will not take a charge. I would try charging them just to know what they will do.
