While newer battery technologies like lithium-ion (Li-ion) dominate consumer electronics, Ni-Cd batteries still hold advantages in specific applications.
Why Choose Ni-Cd Batteries?
✔ Durability: Resistant to physical damage and overcharging.
✔ Consistent Performance: Delivers stable voltage until fully discharged.
✔ Fast Charging: Can handle rapid charging without significant degradation.
✔ Low Maintenance: No complex battery management system (BMS) required.
Comparison with Other Batteries:
| Feature | Ni-Cd | Li-ion | Lead-Acid |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cycle Life | 500-1000 | 300-500 | 200-300 |
| Weight | Moderate | Light | Heavy |
| Cost | Medium | High | Low |
| Temperature Tolerance | Excellent | Moderate | Poor |
For industrial and high-drain applications, Ni-Cd remains a strong choice.
