Nickel-Cadmium Cells

# The basic characteristics of elements
# The basic rules on safe application of rechargeable batteries

Applications:

• Electronic devices

• Video cameras

• Measurement devices

• Emergency lighting

• Communication devices

• Toys etc.

Technical features:

• High capacity – 30-50% better than Ni-Cd cells of similar size.

• No memory effect.

• A releasable safety vent is built -in to relieve internal pressure in case of misuse.

Charging:

• Standard charging will be accomplished in 0.1C for 14-16 hours. Fast charging will be accomplished in 0.3-1C for 2-7 hours.

• In order to properly charge batteries, it is recommended to use chargers that suit all the demands and safety measures required by the cell manufacturer.

Discharging:

• Nominal capacity is defined according to the capacity received by discharging 0.2C for 5 hours in 20OC temp when the cell voltage in the end of the discharging process reaches 1V. Ni-Cd cells are capable of discharging in continuous current to 3C.

Temperature effect on Ni-Cd cell activity:

• The nominal capacity of the cells depends on the temperature. During charging, while the temperature rise above 20OC, the battery pack capacity is growing smaller, and in temperature above 40OC the charging process indeed stops.

There are Ni-Cd battery packs which suited for special working conditions, such as fast charging, discharging in high current and special cells for high & low temperatures. We will be glad to provide data according to the customer’s demands.

While preparing these materials we are based on the recommendations of batteries manufacturers.
