Nickel-cadmium batteries work with normal anode and cathode principles, similar to how all batteries work. Nickel hydroxide is used as the anode, and cadmium is used for the cathode.
The chemical reaction which describes how the battery works is as follows:
2NiO(OH) + Cd + 2H2O --> 2Ni(OH)2 + Cd(OH)2.
The key thing to notice in that reaction is that the battery's electrolyte, potassium hydroxide (KOH), is not consumed. That, plus the fact that the reaction can work just fine going in the opposite direction, make NiCd batteries not only rechargeable, but long-lived as well.

What are examples of primary batteries?

How do alkaline batteries work to power electronic devices?
Alkaline batteries work by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. The battery contains an alkaline electrolyte, typically potassium hydroxide, which reacts with a zinc anode and a manganese dioxide cathode to generate electricity. This flow of electrons powers the electronic device connected to the battery.
What is the difference between NiCad and NiMH batteries?
NiCad batteries use nickel and cadmium, while NiMH batteries use nickel and metal hydride. NiMH batteries have higher energy density and are more environmentally friendly than NiCad batteries.
How can freezing batteries be used to revive them?
Freezing batteries can sometimes help revive them by slowing down chemical reactions that may have caused the battery to lose its charge. When a battery is frozen, the chemical reactions inside it slow down, allowing the battery to potentially regain some of its charge when thawed. However, this method may not work for all types of batteries and should be used cautiously.
Are batteries made of zinc?
Some batteries use zinc as the anode material, such as zinc-carbon batteries and zinc-air batteries. Other types of batteries, like alkaline or lithium-ion, do not contain zinc as a primary component.

Why won't a flashlight work if the batteries are in the wrong way?
It won't work because the polarity of the batteries is reversed.

Why don't some batteries work?
Batteries only store a certain amount of electricity, then they are depleted and no longer work.
Do European batteries work in American devices?
Since Batteries work on DC then it doesnt matter wheter or not they are European or American, as long as you choose the right Voltage and Current for the batteries.

What batteries work best in the WII remotes?
Rechargeable alkaline batteries work the best in WII remotes. This is because they are rechargeable, which saves you money in the long run. Alkaline batteries are also the only type of batteries that are recommended in the owner's manual.
