BTY AA NIMH Batteries: The BTY brand of NIMH batteries that are being sold on I had had received merchandise that matches exactly what they advertise.
Nickel Cadmium batteries contain Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, which is harmful to the environment. Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries offer a higher capacity(runtime)per same size(voltage output) than NiCd batteries and mcVolt Litium Ion laptop batteries have a higher capacity than NiMh(those sold by most manufacturers). NiMh batteries are also lighter and have little memory effect compared to their NiCd counterparts. mcVolt Li-ion laptop batteries are light, have a higher capacity and have no memory effect compared to NiMh and NiCd batteries.
Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries have a different internal chemistry compared to nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries, which contributes to their reduced memory effect. NiMH batteries have less pronounced voltage depression during partial discharges, making them less susceptible to developing memory effect. Additionally, NiMH batteries exhibit better tolerance to overcharging and deep discharging than NiCd batteries, helping to mitigate memory effect issues.
The NiMH battery is better,but it's more expensive.
A NiCad charger has different sensor values than NiMh. I would find a charger that has a switch to select either, or specifically a Nickel Metal Hydride battery charger to prevent damaging and shortening the life of your batteries.
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
yes. NiMH batteries and chargers are easier to come by though. Alot of times, the mAh will be higher in the NiMH batteries as well...so there is really no point to using NiCD unless you'd prefer it.
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.
GP nickel metal hydride batteries are a great choice for a rechargeable battery. Unlike the nickel cadmium alternative, NIMH batteries tend to have a longer life span. They do not need to be fully charged to retain their maximum charging potential. GP brand batteries also are an economical choice for the budget. Priced less than the competition, the NIMH battery is great for any item that is used often.
NIHM stands for nickel metal hydride battery. The NIHM batteries are similar to other types of rechargeable batteries like the more common nickel-cadmium NiCd types but with much more charge capacity.
I prefer NiMH batteries because they have a higher energy density, meaning they can last longer between charges compared to other rechargeable batteries. They are also more environmentally friendly as they do not contain toxic chemicals such as lead or cadmium. Lastly, NiMH batteries are more cost-effective in the long run as they can be recharged hundreds of times.
Please read the information, at the link below, regarding NiMH batteries. The discharging myth still abides, it seems.
