2. Nickel–cadmium battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–cadmium_battery

   Ni–Cd batteries contain between 6% (for industrial batteries) and 18% (for commercial batteries) cadmium, which is a toxic heavy metal and therefore requires special care during battery disposal. In the United States , the expected battery recycling cost (to be used for proper disposal at the end of the service lifetime) is rolled into the ...

3. Comparison of commercial battery types - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_commercial...

   Under certain conditions, some battery chemistries are at risk of thermal runaway, leading to cell rupture or combustion.As thermal runaway is determined not only by cell chemistry but also cell size, cell design and charge, only the worst-case values are reflected here.

4. Nickel–metal hydride battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–metal_hydride_battery

   Nickel–metal hydride battery. A nickel–metal hydride battery (NiMH or Ni–MH) is a type of rechargeable battery. The chemical reaction at the positive electrode is similar to that of the nickel-cadmium cell (NiCd), with both using nickel oxide hydroxide (NiOOH). However, the negative electrodes use a hydrogen-absorbing alloy instead of ...

5. History of the battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_battery

   History of the battery. A voltaic pile, the first chemical battery. Batteries provided the primary source of electricity before the development of electric generators and electrical grids around the end of the 19th century. Successive improvements in battery technology facilitated major electrical advances, from early scientific studies to the ...

6. Memory effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_effect

   Memory effect, also known as battery effect, lazy battery effect, or battery memory, is an effect observed in nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries that causes them to hold less charge. [1][2] It describes the situation in which nickel-cadmium batteries gradually lose their maximum energy capacity if they are repeatedly recharged after being ...

7. Nickel–hydrogen battery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nickel–hydrogen_battery

   A nickel–hydrogen battery (NiH 2 or Ni–H 2) is a rechargeable electrochemical power source based on nickel and hydrogen. [5] It differs from a nickel–metal hydride (NiMH) battery by the use of hydrogen in gaseous form, stored in a pressurized cell at up to 1200 psi (82.7 bar) pressure. [6] The nickel–hydrogen battery was patented in the ...
