Nickel-Cadmium Battery
Power through the toughest jobs with our Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) Rechargeable Batteries. Engineered for high-drain applications and extreme temperature resistance, these cells are built to be cycled hundreds of times. They are particularly valued for their ability to deliver high current and maintain a long service life in demanding environments.
Available Sizes & Voltages
NiCd batteries typically have a nominal voltage of 1.2V per cell. We stock them in all standard cylindrical formats:
| Size | Voltage | Best Suited For |
| AA | 1.2V | Solar garden lights, two-way radios |
| AAA | 1.2V | Cordless phone handsets, small RC toys |
| C | 1.2V | Emergency lighting, portable power tools |
| D | 1.2V | Heavy-duty industrial equipment, flashlights |
| 9V | 8.4V/9.6V | Specialized medical and testing equipment |
Common Usage
While many consumers have moved to NiMH or Lithium, NiCd remains the preferred choice for specific, high-reliability applications:
- Solar Lighting: Excellent performance in outdoor solar lights due to their ability to handle daily deep-discharge cycles.
- Emergency Systems: Exit signs and emergency backup lighting systems.
- Cordless Power Tools: Older or industrial-grade drills and saws that require high surge currents.
- Two-Way Radios: Professional walkie-talkies used in construction and security.
- Aviation & Marine: Critical backup power in harsh temperature environments.
