NiMH Battery Advantages
- The NiMH Battery has higher energy density than the NiCd
Battery, upwards of 40% higher capacity than the standard NiCd Battery.
- The NiMH Battery has potential for higher capacities, but
not without some negative side effects.
- The NiMH Battery rechargeable batteries have a fairly flat
discharge cycle, and then drops rapidly near the end of the discharge cycle.
- Theoretically less prone to the memory effect than the NiCd
Battery.
- Transportation is not subject to regulatory control.
- The NiMH Battery is more environmentally friendly than the
NiCd Battery.
- Contains mild toxins and recycling of the Nickel is used in
making stainless steel.
- Cool temperature and a partial charge slows aging.
