UNDERSTANDING BATTERIES - 2007/09/10 22:46
Let us understand better how batteries behave, I have found this information published by ENERGIZER corporation. You can download file on this link (430Kb)
http://data.energizer.com/PDFs/nickelmetalhydride_appman.pdf
Can we have it for download in this site?
Motorola corporation has another file here: http://www.freescale.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/ref_manual/DRM051.pdfhttp://www.freescale.com/
files/microcontrollers/doc/ref_manual/DRM051.pdf
The motorola info is too technical, but has some hints about how Nimh batteries funtion.
for example, page 3 of above:
CELL FUNDAMENTALS The nickel-metal hydride cell chemistry is a hybrid of the proven positive electrode chemistry of the sealed nickel-cadmium cell with the energy storage features of metal alloys developed for advanced hydrogen energy storage concepts. This heritage in a positive-limited cell design results in batteries providing enhanced capacities while retaining the well-characterized electrical and physical design features of the sealed nickel-cadmium cell design.
