Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery
Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries are rechargable batteries which are commonly used in mobile telephones and digital cameras.
Nickel-Metal Hydride is abbreviated as NiMH.
Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Pros and Cons
Pros:
- 30-40% more charge capacity than Nickel Cadmium batteries
- Fewer memory-effect problems than Nickel Cadmium betteries
- Less toxic than Nickel Cadmium batteries
Cons:
- Fewer recharges than Nickel Cadmium batteries
- Higher self-discharge rate than Nickel Cadmium

Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery Alternatives
Alternatives to Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries include:
- Lithium Polymer Batteries
Lithium Polymer batteries are a type of Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. Lithium Polymer batteries utilize a dry polymer which enables them to be manufactured in a greater variety of shapes and sizes than Lithium Ion batteries. Lithium Polymer batteries also utilize a gelled electrolyte to increase conductance. These batteries may be more correctly referred to [...]...
- Nickel Cadmium Battery
A Nickel-Cadmium battery is a type of rechargeable battery that is often used instead of other common rechargeable batteries, such as Lithium-Ion batteries and Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries. Nickel-Cadmium batteries were once the most popular type of rechargeable battery, but have battled with other rechargeable batteries over the years concerning price and applications due to the [...]...
- Lithium Ion Battery
A Lithium Ion battery is a type of battery that is rechargeable and lasts longer than any other type of rechargeable battery currently on the market. Lithium Ion batteries are used for a wide variety of applications and are currently extremely popular due to their ability to be used in a wider range of temperatures [...]...
- Trickle Charging
Trickle charging, also called float charging, is the replacement of charge lost through self-discharge. Trickle chargers work at a lower rate than quick chargers, and are used to keep a battery at full charge, not to charge it from empty. Some battery chargers use electronics to control both quick and trickle charge modes, allowing them [...]...
- How a Battery Works
Batteries are used constantly by the public, from cars, computers, laptops, radios, to portable MP3 players, cell phones, and clocks. A battery, in a nut shell, can be defined as a can filled with certain chemicals that produce electrons from electrochemical reactions. Alessandro Volta created the first battery in 1800. In order to accomplish his [...]...
