What is a nickel cadmium battery?

Nickel-cadmium batteries are solid and reliable rechargeable batteries known for their capability to operate under rigorous conditions, often used in emergency medical equipment and professional devices, although they are being phased out for newer alternatives with higher energy concentrations and less toxic metals. How useful is this definition?

Can nickel cadmium batteries survive electrical abuse?

They survive electrical abuse which would destroy a conventional battery, such as overcharging, deep discharging, and high ripple currents. Nickel-cadmium batteries have the ability to operate with limited performance loss in both low and high temperature environments, as well as in settings with large temperature swings.

What are bring back points (BBPS) for industrial nickel-cadmium batteries?

Manufacturers of industrial nickel-cadmium batteries have developed an extensive network of Bring Back Points (BBPs) in the countries which they serve. These facilities provide a free of charge, easy to use, environmentally compliant end-of-life service for end users of industrial nickel-cadmium batteries that have reached the end of their life.

Are Li-ion batteries better than nickel-cadmium batteries?

New technologies such as Li-ion batteries which display a superior cycling ability and a higher energy density have made new applications possible. The most significant ones are electrical mobility and grid-connected energy storage systems. However, the Li-ion battery technology does not display the intrinsic properties of nickel-cadmium batteries.
