Nickel Cadmium
All Panasonic Nickel Cadmium batteries are classified by the federal government as a hazardous waste and must be recycled. These batteries are accepted for recycling by the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation's (RBRC) Battery Recycling Program. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on recycling your used Nickel Cadmium battery or go to the RBRC website at www.rbrc.org for additional information.

What is nickel cadium?

Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) is a type of rechargeable battery that uses nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes. These batteries are known for their reliability, long life, and resistance to overcharging. However, they are being phased out due to environmental concerns related to cadmium.


How many amp hours in 1.5 volt nickel cadmium battery?

The amp-hour rating of a battery depends on its capacity. Typically, a 1.5V nickel-cadmium battery may have a capacity ranging from 600mAh to 1000mAh. To find the amp-hour rating, you would divide the capacity (in mAh) by 1000.


What word is blend of the words nickel and cadmium?

That is nicad, pertaining to batteries.


Where can one find nickel cadmium batteries?

You can find nickel cadmium batteries in many stores. The place they will most likely be found at is a special manufacturer or by ordering them online but they can also be found in stores like The Home Depot.


How do nickel-cadmium batteries work?

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 is Nickel-metal hydride?

Nickel-metal hydride batteries are a type of rechargeable battery with an electrochemistry similar to nickel cadmium batteries, but the eliminate the toxic cadmium metal.The older nickel cadmium battery uses nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes, while the newer nickel-metal hydride battery keeps the nickel oxide hydroxide electrode it uses a complex alloy that readily absorbs hydrogen atoms forming a metal hydride, it is the absorbed hydrogen within this hydride that actually functions as the active electrode in the battery. In addition to eliminating the toxic cadmium (making recycling or disposal easier and cheaper) this change also provides other advantages: higher battery capacity, no memory effect, etc.Some of the different alloys used in the metal hydride electrode are:titanium nickellanthanum neodymium nickel cobalt siliconcerium lanthanum neodymium praseodymium nickel cobalt silicon

Why are the negative pole and positive pole terminals close in the nickel cadmium battery?

The negative and positive terminals in a nickel-cadmium battery are placed close together to reduce the internal resistance of the battery. This design ensures efficient flow of electrons between the electrodes and facilitates a quicker discharge/recharge process.

How many nickel cadium are needed in series for 10 volts battery?

Nickel-cadmium cells have a nominal cell potential of 1.2 volts. 10 volts divided by 1,2 volts = 8.3 batterie cells. You need a bit more than 8 batterie cells. Scroll down to related links and look for "Nickel-Cadmium Battery".


Will a off brand battery work in 5251?

Battery SubstitutionIF a battery's specifications [ type (Nickel-Cadmium or Nickel-Metal Hydride for example, and the voltage & amperage ratings] match the battery you want to replace, AND the terminals/connectors are identical, then the manufacturer generally does not matter.
