What Is the Difference Between NiCad and NiMH Battery? Mar. 20, 2024
Nickel-metal hydride (NIMH) batteries have a higher capacity than nickel-cadmium (NICAD) batteries, which means that they can generally power your device for longer. They also don't suffer from the same memory effect, so they won't "forget" the ability to achieve a full charge over time.

Do You Know The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Ni-Cd Battery? Feb. 06, 2024
A Nickel-cadmium or Ni-Cd Battery is a rechargeable battery which uses nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes. The most of these batteries have the cell potential of about 1.2 volts. Because NiCd batteries are fairly cheap to produce, they're also relatively cheap to buy and are used for several diverse kinds of devices.
