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.
