Fast-charging Ni-Cd batteries (capable of 1C-2C charging rates) are widely used in high-drain devices such as:
- Cordless Power Tools – Drills, saws.
- RC Vehicles & Robotics – High current output for motors.
- Emergency Medical Equipment – Quick recharge capability.
Benefits:
- Rapid recharge – Ready in under an hour.
- High surge current – Supports peak power demands.
- Durability – Withstands rough handling.
Despite competition from lithium, Ni-Cd remains popular in cost-sensitive, high-power applications.
