Nickel Cadmium (NiCd)
Rated voltage 1.2 V / cell
Round and button cells
General-purpose use, the system used most world-wide, adaptation of the
various design series to the respective application (standard, fast charging,
high-temperature, high-current, high-capacity)
Application in all areas of industry (electric tools, household appliances,
lamps, radios, etc) and in the consumer sector
Standard and customized battery-packs
Tried and tested recycling
See also Nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries
See also Overview of sizes and capacities

Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH)
Rated voltage 1.2 V / cell
Round and button cells, prismatic cells
Energy density approx. twice as high as NiCd
Continuous further development
Increasing use in industrial applications, notebooks, mobile telephones
Standard and customized battery-packs
