Internal impedance of 25-30
µΩ per 1.2V cell 
 
Typical cell voltages are 1.2V, with multiple cells used to 
obtain higher operating voltages 
 
Can withstand high current pulses, which are characteristic of 
packet data applications 
 
Typical charge method is 
−∆ V (known as negative delta 
voltage), which involves charging the battery while looking for 
the battery voltage to peak. Then enter a slight overcharge 
condition, where the voltage actually begins to decrease prior to 
terminating battery charging. NiCad is the most robust battery 
technology available today for non vehicular applications. 
NiCad can withstand over charging, over discharging, and harsh 
environments with reasonable resilience. 
 
Raw battery cells or battery packs can be purchased from 
suppliers 
NiMH 
 
Mature technology with potential for improvements in battery 
chemistry and energy density over the next five years 
 
Higher energy density than NiCad, but lower than Li-ion 
 
Available in standard sizes AA, 2/3A, 4/5A, A and 4/3A and 
some prismatic (rectangular) configurations 
 
Exhibits the memory effect in a manner similar to NiCad 
technology, but at a less pronounced level 
 
Internal impedance of 35-49
µΩ per 1.2V cell 
 
Typical cell voltages are 1.2V, with multiple cells used to 
obtain higher operating voltages 
 
Earlier NiMH battery chemistry could be damaged by high 
current discharge pulses. Newer battery chemistry has 
eliminated this problem. When purchasing batteries of this type, 
determine if high current pulse discharging is an issue. 
 
Typical charge method is dT/dt, where T is temperature. As the 
battery reaches full charge, any further energy is dissipated as 
heat. A temperature threshold is used to terminate the charge 
cycle in conjunction with voltage monitoring. NiMH is more 
sensitive to overcharging then NiCad and exhibits decreased 
capacity if repetitively overcharged. 
 
Raw battery cells or battery packs can be purchased from 
suppliers. 
Li-ion 
 
Reasonably mature technology leaving lots of potential for 
increased capacity 
 
Higher energy density than either NiCad or NiMH
