Nickel Cadmium Battery

Product Details:

Utilization of Nickel Cadmium Battery can be noticed in various medical instruments, motor controlled systems, emergency lighting apparatus and power tools to name a few. Internal fuse of this battery acts against short circuit, over drain, over discharge and overcharge. No polyswitches are incorporated into its design. There are discharging and charging terminals for its uninterrupted operation. This 80-gram battery has low internal resistance capacity. Its endothermic charging technique keeps its inside cool which in turn promotes its fast charging. Cadmium Cd is used to develop its negative electrode and nickel hydroxide has been chosen to produce its positive electrode. Besides having long life cycle, Nickel Cadmium Battery is preferred for its high load enduring capacity. It can be stored during its discharge condition.

Features:

• It can operate under low-temperature condition.
• Its cost is much lower than other batteries available in the market.
• Available in different capacity based options
• Quick charging method

Limitation:

• Memory effect - the Ni-Cd must periodically be exercised to prevent memory
• Has relatively high self-discharge - needs recharging after storage
• Environmentally unfriendly - the Ni-Cd contains toxic metals
• Some countries are limiting the use of the Ni-Cd battery
• Relatively low energy density - compared with newer systems

Advantages:

• Good low temperature performance
• Economically priced - the Ni-Cd is the lowest cost battery in terms of cost per cycle
• High number of charge/discharge cycles - if properly maintained, the Ni-Cd provides over 1000 charge/discharge cycles
• Long shelf life - in any state-of-charge
• Simple storage and transportation - most airfreight companies accept the Ni-Cd without special conditions
• Good load performance - the Ni-Cd allows recharging at low temperatures
• Forgiving if abused - the Ni-Cd is one of the most rugged rechargeable batteries
• Available in a wide range of sizes and performance options - most Ni-Cd cells are cylindrical
• Fast and simple charge - even after prolonged storage

Protection:

• Fuse installed with the battery pack and protects the battery from
• Overcharge (>1.4V)
• Over discharge ( <1.0 V)
• Over drain ( >1.0 Amp.)
• Short circuits
• No polyswitches
