Advantages and Limitations of NiCd Batteries:

Advantages:
• Fast and simple charge — even after prolonged storage.
• High number of charge/discharge cycles — if properly maintained, the NiCd provides over 1000 charge/discharge cycles.
• Good load performance — the NiCd allows recharging at low temperatures.
• Long shelf life – in any state-of-charge.
• Simple storage and transportation — most airfreight companies accept the NiCd without special conditions.
• Good low temperature performance.
• Forgiving if abused — the NiCd is one of the most rugged rechargeable batteries.
• Economically priced — the NiCd is the lowest cost battery in terms of cost per cycle.
• Available in a wide range of sizes and performance options — most NiCd cells are cylindrical.

Limitations:

• Relatively low energy density — compared with newer systems.
• Environmentally unfriendly — the NiCd contains toxic metals. Some countries are limiting the use of the NiCd battery.
• Has relatively high self-discharge — needs recharging after storage.
