NIMH stands for Nickel Metal Hydride and is a fairly common rechargeable battery used primarily in emergency light batteries, small mobile devices, remote controls, power tools, and some other electronic equipment. NiMH contains internal negative electrodes that are made from a hydrogen-absorbing alloy, making it very unique and different from other nickel battery types. Nickel-metal hydride batteries have been around since the early 1970s. The technology is driven by its high energy density (compared to nickel-cadmium and lead-acid), environmental friendliness, good cycle life performance, and strong safety and reliability record.

NiMH cells and battery packs offer industry-leading capacity and performance and are available in a variety of cell sizes, configurations, discharge rates and high temperature options. Whether you need a single cell or a custom battery pack, Godson has the NiMH solution your application needs.
Nickel-metal hydride batteries are known to deliver high charge currents simultaneously and are therefore common in devices that require a high-energy charge. Depending on the application, they can be either individual battery cells or larger battery packs. Some of these applications include emergency lights, emergency signs, flashlights, toys, portable devices, cameras, remote control electronics, power tools, and more.
They are highly compatible with a variety of devices as they come in common battery sizes such as AA and AAA.
Since less active material is used in making them, they are relatively safe.
They can also be fully discharged to 0% without causing too much of a problem to the battery itself.
They are cheaper compared to lithium-ion batteries
When comparing lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries have a much higher self-discharge rate, and some of these batteries can lose up to 50% of their initial charge within a month. Although this only applies to certain variants of NiMH batteries
They also have a relatively low average voltage of 1.2V, much lower than lithium-ion batteries.
When comparing lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries have a much slower charging time, between 8 and 12 hours, as fast charging can cause battery damage. This is unlike lithium-ion batteries, which have a faster recharge time of 3-5 hours, depending on the battery's capacity.
NiMH batteries are extremely sensitive to temperature changes as their voltage levels drop at high temperatures.
Cost: The final battery pack production price of nickel-metal hydride batteries is less than 50% of lithium batteries, and the product development cost is less than 75% of lithium batteries. While nickel metal hydride has some regulatory and other development steps, it is still significantly lower than lithium.
When comparing lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries are relatively safe, but they are also susceptible to temperature changes, which can cause the battery to overheat, resulting in a potential fire hazard. Lithium-ion batteries are much more tolerant and therefore relatively safer.
As the number of devices in use today increases, an increasing number of different battery types exist to meet various device requirements. Batteries such as lithium-ion and nickel-metal hydride are some of the common battery types used around the world today. But which battery type is best for your application and which battery type is better than others.
In terms of performance, lithium-ion batteries outperform nickel-metal hydride batteries in most categories. They have a longer overall life cycle of five years compared to the two to five years of NiMH batteries. Lithium-ion batteries charge faster, perform better in extreme temperatures, and retain a charge longer than nickel-metal hydride batteries.
NiMH batteries, on the other hand, cost much less than lithium-ion batteries. They require little maintenance, are more environmentally friendly, and are not subject to the shipping regulations that lithium-ion batteries must comply with when shipping.
