What is battery type NiMH?

A nickel metal hydride battery (NiMH or Ni–MH) is a type of rechargeable battery. NiMH batteries can have two to three times the capacity of NiCd batteries of the same size, with significantly higher energy density, although much less than lithium-ion batteries.

How long do NiMH rechargeable batteries last?

Typically NiMH batteries can be recharged hundreds of times, potentially allowing them to be equivalent to hundreds of alkaline batteries in total service over their lifetime. However, battery life is limited to 5 years or less.

Are all Ni MH batteries the same?

A: Never mix batteries from different manufacturers. Never mix batteries of different capacities. Never mix batteries of different chemistries, i.e. NiCd, NiMH, Lithium, etc.

Can you use regular batteries instead of NiMH batteries?

Yes. You can use regular batteries instead of the rechargeable pack.

Which is better Li ion or Ni MH battery?

On the performance scale, Li-ion batteries outperform NiMH in most categories. They have a longer overall life cycle of five years, compared to the NiMH life cycle of two to five years.

Can I use NiMH instead of Ni-Cd?

Ni-MH cannot be used instead of Ni-Cd, as the Ni-MH will degenerate quickly because it will be charged under the charging conditions for Ni-Cd (which are different to those of the Ni-MH).

Can I replace NiMH with Ni-Cd?

Many people have asked “can I use NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries in my solar lights that have NiCd (Nickel Cadmium)?” And the answer is, yes! Not only can you replace with NiMH, but they are the better choice of battery as they have benefits that their NiCd counterparts don’t.

Can I use regular batteries in my cordless phone?

Most cordless phones will take rechargeable AAA batteries, but it’s important that you buy rechargeable batteries that have been recommended for cordless phones. A genuine AAA cordless phone battery has a slightly longer positive terminal to connect inside the battery compartment.
