4 FAQs about Battery cabinet nickel belt temperature range

What is a nickel cadmium battery?

The nickel-cadmium battery uses nickel hydroxide as the active material for the positive plate, and cadmium hydroxide for the negative plate. The electrolyte is an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide containing small quantities of lithium hydroxide to improve cycle life and high temperature operation.

What temperature should a battery be stored at?

Storage of a filled battery at temperatures above +30°C (+86°F) can result in permanent change and loss of product performance, depending on the duration of the storage above the maximum recommended temperature. Saft recommends to store cells empty and discharged. Cells can be stored like this for many years.

How long does a SAFT NiFe battery last?

A lifetime in excess of twenty years is achieved by the Saft Nife block battery in many applications, and at elevated temperatures it has a lifetime unthinkable for other widely available battery technologies (see section 6.8 Effect of temperature on lifetime).

Why is nickel cadmium battery better than lead acid battery?

Thus, through its electrochemistry, the nickel-cadmium battery has a more stable behavior than the lead acid battery, giving it a longer life, superior characteristics and a greater resistance against abusive conditions. 4. Construction features of the block battery
