Advantages of Ni-Cd batteries

• Very good high power rating
• Very good cycling capability
• Reduced maintenance costs – exceptional life cycle costs
• Low internal resistance
• No risk of sudden death or terminal runaway effect
• No electrolyte stratification
• No electrode plate corrosion or passivation
• Reduced loss of capacity at deep temperature
• No ice formation at temperatures below 0 C
• Exceptional lifetime at high temperatures, 20 plus years in stationary cycling applications
• Insensitive against deep discharge
• Operational temperature range between – 40 C to + 50 C
• Long shelf life of several years in a discharged state under correct conditions
• Robust construction – insensitive against faulty maintenance
• Large electrolyte reserve – reduced maintenance costs
