The most advanced commercial rechargeable battery. Nickel Metal Hydride batteries last 40% longer than Nickel Cadmium batteries. This battery is generally much more environmentally friendly than Nickel Cadmium, as well.
The Nickel-Metal Hydride battery is a rechargeable power source that is increasingly used in portable computers and other devices. The NiMH battery provides up to 40 percent longer service life than Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) batteries as well as greater charge capacity. NiMH batteries are also used in cellular phones and camcorders. NiMH batteries are less susceptible to memory effect than NiCd batteries but more susceptible than Lithium Ion (Li-ION) batteries.
A storage battery comprising a nickel positive electrode and metal hydride (MH) negative electrode.
This battery is similar to the Ni-Cad except that is uses an anode of a metal hydride. It has 30%-40% more capacity that the NiCad but has a reduced cycle life. It is less prone to memory than the Ni-Cad and is better for the environment.
A technique for making rechargeable batteries. NiMH batteries are common in laptop computers and cellular phones. The battery is similar to nickel-cadmium but uses an anode of a metal hydride; a variety of metal alloys are used.
A type of rechargeable battery composed of metal alloys and Nickel. NiMH cells provide extended use lifetimes and are safer to the environment.
Interchangeable with most NiCd batteries, nickel metal hydride (NiMh) batteries generally deliver 10-25% greater capacity than NiCds and are environmentally more friendly than NiCds since they do not contain cadmium. Used in many wireless phone and camcorders.
A type of battery that holds more power for its size than Ni-Cad batteries (see above). It's also more environmentally friendly. But no more friendly in any other way.
