How did you accommodate the voltage difference between the NiCd and the SuperCap?

Low-Self-Discharge NiMH cells like Eneloops are integral to the scheme - A fully-charged Eneloop pack will keep RAM alive for years; a Supercap for a few weeks to a few months, depending on the quiescent current of your RAM chips - More than enough time to recharge the Eneloops. And OBTW, Eneloops don't leak either. Problem solved. ...
