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.


Is Alkaline better than lithium?

Depends on the usage. In low power drain devices operated mostly at room temperature, alkaline batteries are probably better. In high power drain devices sometimes operated at high or low temperatures, lithium is definitely better. It is best to use what the manufacturer of the device the battery will be used in recommends.


What makes lithium batteries better than other batteries?

Lithium batteries have a higher energy density, meaning they can store more energy in a smaller and lighter package compared to other types of batteries. They also have a longer lifespan and can withstand a higher number of charge cycles before needing to be replaced. Additionally, lithium batteries charge faster and have a lower self-discharge rate, making them more convenient for daily use.


Why is it possible for alkaline batteries to be smaller than zinc-carbon dry cells?

A battery can actually be made into any size, but very small batteries would be drained in a matter of seconds and are thus useless. Since zinc-carbon batteries contain less electrical energy per volume compared to an alkaline battery they are normally used for the larger sizes of batteries. Rayovac has published a graph where the zinc-carbon and alkaline batteries have been compared. It shows that the alkaline battery works just as good after 17 hours of use as the zinc-carbon battery does after only 8 hours of use. (http://www.rayovac.com/technical/pdfs/pg_battery.pdf) Eurobatt claims that alkaline batteries can have 4-15 times longer lifetime than the zinc-carbon type. But it isn't mentioned under what type of conditions this is. (http://www.eurobatt.net/index7201.html?page=213&l=1)

Why do fire engines engines use electricity from the mains?

Fire engines may be hooked up to the mains when parked, to use electrical heaters to keep the engines at operating temperatures which makes them run better from the start, and to let on-board chargers keep the batteries topped up. Some may even have built-in coolers for medical supplies.

Do household battery chargers draw electrical power when not charging but remain plugged in?

Everything that is plugged into the mains socket and switched on will use electricity even if it's a battery charger with no batteries in. So yes they do draw electrical power from the mains.
