Will a NiMh charger charge NiCad Batteries?

Some will, but it is not recommended because it can damage the batteries or the charger. Invest in a NiCd charger or better yet get some NiMh batteries. NiMh batteries are better than NiCd in every way.


What are the differences between NiMH and NiCD batteries?

A nickel-metal hydride battery, abbreviated NiMH, is a type of rechargeable battery similar to a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery but using a hydrogen-absorbing alloy for the negative electrode instead of cadmium. As in NiCd batteries, the positive electrode is nickel oxyhydroxide (NiOOH).A NiMH battery can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent size NiCd. However, compared to the lithium-ion battery, the volumetric energy density is lower and self-discharge is higher.Common AA batteries (penlight-size) have nominal charge capacities (C) ranging from 1100 mA·h to 2700 mA·h at 1.2 V, usually measured at a discharge rate of 0.2×C per hour. Useful discharge capacity is a decreasing function of the discharge rate, but up to a rate of around 1×C (full discharge in one hour), it does not differ significantly from the nominal capacity.The specific energy density for NiMH material is approximately 70 W·h/kg (250 kJ/kg), with a volumetric energy density of about 300 W·h/L (360 MJ/m³).It is common to refer to most NiMH products as Batteries, even though the word Battery refers to the grouping of multiple cells. As a result sizes AA, AAA, C and D are technically Cells while the 9V size is a real battery.


How long does an electric car have to be charged for?

An electric car needs to be charged until the indicator on the charger says the batteries are charged. It will depend on the amperage of the batteries, the way the charging mechanism works, and the percentage of discharge of the batteries.


Can you substitute a Ni Mn battery for a Ni Cad battery without damaging your two way radios?

I talked to an expert at Total Battery and he said "yes, you can substitute NiMh batteries instead of NiCad, and still use the same charger." I dug up one of my old dead NiCad AA batteries and it's the same voltage as the AA NiMh battery. Ray B.


Can Nicd rechargeable batteries be replaced with Nimh rechargeable batteries for solar lights?

The two types of rechargeable batteries are similar in performance and many characteristics are the same. Importantly, they both deliver a voltage of 1.2V so the devices they drive will respond in the same way. The two technologies differ in the way that they should be charged. This is only a concern for fast chargers. Nimh batteries can be fully charged in about one hour but it is is important that the charger monitors the battery and shuts off the charge at the right time to avoid damage to the battery. NiCd batteries have a different charging characteristic so charging either battery in a fast charger designed for the other type is likely to lead to damage or reduced performance. Solar lights use solar panels to charge batteries over a 12 hour period or more. The charging current is low enough to avoid the risks of damage to a Nimh battery so it is very likely that they can be used. There should be no risk of damage but the only way to see if the batteries work in a light fitting is to try it and see if it works. If it doesn't, it's time to switch back to NiCd batteries.


Can bipolar drain batteries?

Yes, bipolar batteries can drain batteries, particularly if they are not designed to manage the charging and discharging effectively. Bipolar batteries consist of multiple cells connected in a way that can lead to uneven distribution of charge, potentially causing some cells to discharge faster than others. If not properly managed, this imbalance can lead to reduced overall battery life and performance.

How to Get the Most From Your Rechargeable Replacement NiMH Batteries?

Rechargeable batteries carry a number of benefits including from reduced environmental impact to significantly lower cost over their useful life. However, to ensure that their high initial cost is amortized over a long life of good performance, proper care must be taken of them.Start Your New Batteries Out RightMost of today’s rechargeable batteries are made of a nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) base. They have excellent energy density, and significantly less memory effect than battery made with the older NiCad technology. However, they can be temperamental. NiMH batteries will benefit from a break in period where they are fully charged when taken out of the package, then fully discharged, then fully charged. Two to four of these cycles will ensure that the battery reaches its maximum capacity and stays there. This is also the best way to use a NiMH battery throughout its life.Charge Them Right, or At Least SlowlyThere are a number of "15 minute" chargers available at discount stores. These chargers are excellent ways to ruin batteries. A truly smart charger will take one hour to charge the battery and will be actively measuring either the battery’s voltage output or its temperature, as both are indicators of degree of charge and useful warnings of potential overcharging. Barring a smart charger, manual chargers should be slow, taking 10 to 20 hours to charge the battery, which will ensure that if there is any overcharging, it will be minimal.Don’t Leave Them in the ChargerOnce the battery is charged, remove it from the charger. Constant charging at anything but the absolute lowest rate will damage it. Bear in mind that most NiMH rechargeable batteries will lose 5-10% of their charge on their first day, and 1% per day after that. With that in mind, it is advisable to store them uncharged and then charge them only when needed.NiMH batteries can be excellent in high current drain applications, such as portable music players and digital cameras. Given their significant benefits, the small bit of care that they require is an extremely reasonable trade off.

Suitable battery for canon A 1000 IS?

Canon A1000IS is AA battery camera. AA battery camera is the most suitable for High capacity NIMH battery.Because,the working current of camera is very large, nearly 1000mah.For examples SONY DSC-P92,Maximum working current can reach 1350mah.This kind of electric appliance is the higher requirement to the Load capacity of battery. NIMH battery has better load capacity than Alkaline battery. So AA battery camera used NIMH battery can take more photos. I have done the experiment and collect many data from different people different cameras. I can draw the following general conclusions. If you have interests,you also can go to check. If the camera can takes more than 10 photos with two AA alkaline batteries, the camera can flash photography more than 1000 pieces with two AA 2300MAH NIMH batteries. If the camera can takes more than 200 photos with four AA alkaline batteries, the camera can flash photography more than 1500 pieces with four AA 2300MAH NIMH batteries. And the data of the camera with four batteries is more accurate than the one with two batteries. The following series FUJI S2500,FUJIS2600,FUJIS2900,CANON S2IS,NIKON L100,L110,L120 both can reach the good effect. But the charge of NIMH battery is really a problem. Now,NIMH battery changer usually use constant voltage source. The way always cannot charge sufficient NIMH battery fully. Because the charging current of the constant voltage source can change. It detects the characteristic of battery to determine sufficient. But when the NIMH battery is charged sufficient, the characteristic is different. Even the same battery can produces different characteristic when it is new and old time.So it is difficult to charge sufficient battery with constant voltage source. The constant current cource is good way to charge NIMH battery.The charging current of constant current source is constant.So if we know the capacity of battery and charging current,we can calculate the time of charge.We control the time of charge,We can control the total input power.So any battery can be charged sufficient. If 2300MAH NIMH battery can be charged sufficient, you can flash photograph more than 1000 pieces. Now, constant current source battery charger is vey rare. The best is in shanghai china,call "tianyuan",in china called"天元".The company is specializing in the study of variable constant current technology enterprises. "tianyuan" battery charger has 4 grades of constant current source,from 300MA-150MA-70MA-35MA,which can charge 150mah-3000mah range NICD,NIMH battery,the charging current is not charge according to number of battery,and 1-15 hours digital timing control which the precision is very high. "tianyuan" also writes some importmant articles about battery and battery charger.If you read these articles,you will konw more knowledge about this area. Above the camera shot of data is just from the shanghai tianyuan. Finally, I am sorry ,my English is not very good. If something you can't understand,you can e-mail to me.I will do my best to answer you.
