It can be done, but it is not recommended unless the device is specifically designed to use either Ni-Mh or Ni-Cd. It will result in a shorter lifetime and it may not be safe.

What is the compound name of the formula NiH?

This is nickel hydride (an alloy not a compound). There is no fixed ratio of nickel to hydrogen in these alloys.


Flashlight that docks in a charger to recharge two AA nickel cadmium batteries so can an you replace these batteries with cadmium metal hydride ones?

No, you should not replace nickel cadmium batteries with nickel metal hydride batteries interchangeably in a device designed for nickel cadmium batteries. They have different charging requirements and using the wrong type can damage the device. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for battery type.


How were first electrical batteries charged?

They weren't, they were single-use. Pick the two correct metals, stick them close together in an acidic bath, and they'll deliver a voltage and a current until one of the metals is all used up. No charging required.


What batteries are made from metal?

A long list, look at any treatise on batteries. lead-acid nickel-cadmium nickel metal hydride lithium-ion Zinc-carbon Zinc-chloride alkaline/manganese Silver-oxide Lithium Iron Disulphide Lithium-Thionyl Chloride battery Mercury battery Zinc-air battery Nickel Oxyhydroxide battery Paper battery Zinc-bromine vanadium redox Zebra Na/NiCl2 NiZn battery


Is cobalt used in batteries?

Yes, cobalt is commonly used in lithium-ion batteries as a cathode material. It helps improve the battery's energy density, stability, and overall performance. However, there are concerns about the ethical and environmental implications of cobalt mining.

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

Is NiMH a computer battery?

A nickel-metal hydride cell (NiMH) is a type of secondary electrochemical cell similar to the nickel cadmium cell.


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.

Can you replace a NiMH Panasonic battery with a Duracell?

You can replace a Panasonic NiMH (Nickel-Metal Hydride) battery with a similar Duracell NiMH battery of the same size and with the same voltage and power output.


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".


What is the metal in NIMH batteries?

How does the discharge process of nickel metal hydride batteries affect their overall performance and longevity?

The discharge process of nickel metal hydride batteries can affect their overall performance and longevity. Over time, repeated discharging and recharging can lead to a decrease in the battery's capacity and efficiency. Properly managing the discharge process, such as avoiding deep discharges and overcharging, can help maintain the battery's performance and extend its lifespan.


Where do you use Nickel-metal hydride battery?

They are a replacement rechargeable battery where Nickel Cadmium types were used. They tend not to suffer from the 'memory effect'. This is the condition where a cell does not supply it's stated Ampere Hour capacity if it is charged again when part way through it's discharge cycle.


What is an niMH battery?

nickel metal hydride; slightly higher voltage than Ni-Cd (Ni Cad, or Nickel Cadmium) and better for high current/high draw applications. Pre-2005 NiMh batteries had a higher self-discharge rate than those of today, which are typically purchased pre-charged. Li-ion (Lithium Ion) is probably a better rechargeable battery all-round.
