Ni-MH Battery
Nickel-metal hydride batteries use a nickel-based positive electrode and a hydrogen-storage alloy negative electrode with alkaline electrolyte.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
The active components of a rechargeable NiMH battery in the charged state consist of nickel hydroxide (NiOOH) in the positive electrode and a hydrogen storing metal alloy (MH) in the negative electrode as well as an alkaline electrolyte.
Charging method, temperature and overcharge conditions affect service behaviour. Backup operation and frequent cycling require different acceptance patterns. Nominal capacity does not establish equal performance at every discharge rate.
What turns activity into demand
A standby cell and a frequently cycled cell can have different requirements despite matching physical size. Demand needs an application and service-cycle bridge. Separate cells, assembled packs and charging equipment. A rechargeable replacement must be compatible with the device and charging arrangement.
The commercial boundary
Separate cells, assembled packs and charging equipment. A rechargeable replacement must be compatible with the device and charging arrangement.
