Nickel Cadmium Battery Schematic

Today we are going to build charger circuit for charging ni cd battery the process of charging nickel cadmium batteries can be done in two ways.

Nickel cadmium battery schematic.

We know the nickel cadmium battery is called as nicd battery or nicad battery and this types of rechargeable batteries are made with nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes. Hence it is widely used in hand held and compact electronic devices. Nickle cadmium battery is a rechargeable battery with nickle oxide hydroxide and cadmium as electrodes and alkaline potassium hydroxide as electrolyte. The maximum cell voltage during charge is 1 3 v and the average cell voltage is 1 2 v.

Thomas edison patented a nickel or cobalt cadmium battery in 1902 and adapted the battery design when he introduced the nickel iron battery to the us two years after jungner had built one. Nickel cadmium nicd batteries compete with lead acid batteries because they have a higher energy density 50 75 wh kg and have a longer life 2000 2500 cycles. The nickel cadmium battery system still uses the same positive electrode as the nickel iron one while the negative electrode is cadmium. In golden valley fairbanks alaska the world s second most.

Simple nicd battery charger circuit made with few easily available. In eqns 4 6 the cell reactions during charging and discharging are presented. In 1906 jungner established a factory close to oskarshamn sweden to produce flooded design ni cd batteries. Nicd batteries provides better performance in compact size.
