What can nickel-cadmium batteries be used for?
Anything. They don't pack as much energy as NiMH or Li-Po batteries though.
Why do you prefer NiMH batteries?
There are several advantages of NiMH batteries compared to ordinary alkaline batteries: 1. They can be recharged hundreds of time. So a single NiMH battery can literally replace hundreds of alkaline batteries over its lifetime. This saves money, results in fewer batteries being discarded, and uses fewer resources. 2. The voltage of NiMH batteries is relatively constant with use. The voltage of alkaline batteries decreases as the battery is used. For example a flashlight dims with use when using alkalines. But with NiMH batteries, it will stay bright until the batteries are exhausted. 3. Due to the low internal resistance of NiMH batteries, the voltage does not drop nearly as much under a load as alkaline batteries. 4. Also because of the low internal resistance, the capacity of a NiMH battery does not drop very much under heavy loads. This is why you can typically get many more shots with a digital camera if you use NiMH batteries rather than alkaline batteries. 5. NiMH batteries can deliver a much heavier current. Some devices, such as high power flashlights, cannot run (or cannot run for long) on alkaline batteries (at least on the highest settings). NiMH batteries are required to make the most of these devices. 6. Alkaline batteries may leak when they get old and/or are discharged too quickly. This can destroy whatever device they are used in.
Are all NiMH batteries rechargeable?
Yes, unless they have been used too much and begin to burn out.
What is the life of a NiMH AAA Batteries?
A set of NiMH AAA batteries can last roughly a month on a full charge if they are not being used at all and are simply allowed to sit around. In devices such as cameras and small pda's where rechargeable batteries are best used, the batteries can last nearly as long as normal alkaline batteries on a full charge. Exact times depend on the capacities of the NiMH batteries. A charge lasts long enough for a camera to be used normally for several days and hundreds of shots. As long as the NiMH batteries are not allowed to be idle and self-discharge, the life of a single charge is almost as long as a full alkaline battery. The life of the battery itself can easily be several years. NiMH batteries don't need much maintaining and can last for hundreds of charge cycles.
List three types of batteries that might be used in notebooks?
Ni-Cad, NiMH, Lithium Ion
Why doesn't the US fed gov criticize Chevron for keeping NIMH batteries off the market?
The reason the federal government of the USA has never criticized Chevron for keeping NIMH batteries off the market (and making electric/gas electric hybrid cars practical) is because Chevron donates a great deal of money to politicians. The Congress of the USA looks out for corporate interests, not for the American people. Chevron will keep the patent for NIMH batteries, and will keep NIMH batteries from being used in cars, and other vehicles, driven on American roads. Other nations may have cars with NIMH batteries, but, the USA will not, thanks to Chevron's willful restraint of this technology.
Rechargeable Batteries: The Difference Between NIMH and NICad?
GP nickel metal hydride batteries are a great choice for a rechargeable battery. Unlike the nickel cadmium alternative, NIMH batteries tend to have a longer life span. They do not need to be fully charged to retain their maximum charging potential. GP brand batteries also are an economical choice for the budget. Priced less than the competition, the NIMH battery is great for any item that is used often.
What are the best practices for maximizing the lifespan of NiMH batteries used in solar lights?
To maximize the lifespan of NiMH batteries in solar lights, it is important to fully charge them before first use, avoid overcharging, store them in a cool and dry place when not in use, and replace them when they no longer hold a charge effectively.
What are HQRP batteries and is this different than an NiMH battery for a vacuum?
High Quality Reasonable Price - abbreviation used to sound more professional
List three types of batteries that might be used on notebooks?
NI-Cad (nickel-cadmium), NiMH (nickel-metal-hydride), and Lithium Ion
What kind of cell is used in a flashlight?
Most flashlights use alkaline or lithium batteries, which are common types of cells. Alkaline batteries, like AA or AAA, are widely used due to their availability and cost-effectiveness. Lithium batteries, while more expensive, are often used in high-performance flashlights due to their longer lifespan and higher energy density. Some rechargeable flashlights may use lithium-ion or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells.
What is Ni-MH battery?
A nickel-metal hydride cell, abbreviated NiMH, is a type of secondary electrochemical cell similar to Nickel Hydrogen cell.Applications of NiMH include all-electric plug-in vehicles and is used extensively in rechargeable batteries for most consumer electronics.
