There are a few ways to do this.
Using a welder for a D.C. source to zap the battery. A car battery should accomplish the same task. Dangerous as it could explode the target battery. Not for amateurs.
Buy a downloadable manual to tell you how.
Buy sub C batteries to replace the ones in a battery pack. Soldering experience necessary. On the first link scroll to the first comment.
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.
Some will, but it is not recommended because it can damage the batteries or the charger. Invest in a NiCd charger or better yet get some NiMh batteries. NiMh batteries are better than NiCd in every way.
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.
This question doesn't have a simple answer. It depends on the battery chemistry and construction. Somewhere in the battery's specification is the amp-hour rating. For AA size batteries, it is common to use milliampere-hour ratings (mAH). You need to multiply the mAH rating by 1.5 if you're figuring alkaline batteries, or 1.2 if you're figuring rechargeable batteries. Then divide the result by 1000 to get watt hours. Nicad cells are typically rated 500 to 1000 mAH. NiMh batteries typically have twice the rating of similarly sized nicad batteries. Alkaline batteries are typically rated at 2500-3000 mAH
Yes, as long as you use an NiCd charger, but you really shouldn't. NiMh has twice the capacity of NiCd and it is less expensive. NiMh also contains no toxic materials so it is better for the environment.
You cannot do that. When dead, they are gone for good.
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.
Nicad is short for nickel-cadmium
That is nicad, pertaining to batteries.
Yes,
Typical D cell batteries NiCad or otherwise are 1.2 volts.
Nicad batteries have sodium hydroxide electrolyte. Citric acid powder will neutralize it.
NiCd Nickel & Cadmium
No. Fable, myth, urban legend.
In NiCad batteries the negative electrode is made of Cadmium, while in NiMH batteries it is made of an intermetallic compund, consisting of a rare earth (such as Lanthanum or Cerium) and a transition metal (such as Manganese or Nickel). anonymous@oola.com
Yep. This type of battery is most famous for suffering from the memory effect, which is one of the reasons for why NiMH batteries have largely replaced them.
