Not likely since NiMH batteries have pressure relief seals that will open if the pressure inside the battery becomes too high. It is very important however to always follow the manufacturers instructions and safety precautions and only use a charger that is designed to charge NiMH batteries.

with ANY battery available in the market, there is a risk that the battery may explode if used incorrectly (e.g. leaving the battery in direct sunlight, using chargers meant for other battery models, and etc). We provide clear instructions with each battery that we sell and you are encouraged to read them before using the batteries. Thank you for your interest. We are always keen to explore new business partnerships and to find ways of offering our customers more value. See similar questions...

Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries can offer up to three times the capacity of the same size standard Nickel Cadmium batteries. Due to their increased capacity and energy density features, users can expect longer talk time and longer standby time. Manufacturers can use NiMH technology to increase operational time and/or decrease the size and weight of a phone. See similar questions...

If you are new to rechargeable batteries then skip the NiCd batteries you may find on the BatteryLogic website and go straight to our range of the latest NiMH Rechargeable batteries which will offer you the best performance in almost every application. See similar questions...

No. You should never charge NiMH and NiCd batteries at the same time. TIP: You should always try to use and charge your batteries in sets. See similar questions...

The main difference between the two battery types (NiMh Nickel Metal Hydride and NiCd Nickel Cadmium often referred to as NiCads) is capacity and memory effect. If you are under the illusion that rechargeable batteries are not very good then the chances are that you have been using older Alkaline rechargeable batteries (which ARE rubbish) or NiCd batteries suffering from memory effect and you have not been aware of the effects of Memory Effect.

No. Do not try to charge any NiMH type battery in an older NiCD charger meant only for NiCD. It could be hazardous. There are dual chargers that charge both types. Please see my item 552554. Here These batteries have been outlawed and are no longer made due to environmental issues.. You may substitute a silver oxide cell of the same size. Mercury 313 substitute with 357 or 303. Mercury 323 sub with a 309. Mercury 325 use the 392 or 384. Mercury 343 sub with a 344 or Accucell-1. See similar questions...

NiMH batteries cannot be charged in the DS-2200. Olympus' NiMH batteries (BR-401) can be charged in the NiMH Battery Charger (BU-400), available exclusively in the NiMH Quick Charger and Battery Set (B-90SU). Both batteries and the charger set are available for purchase from Olympus' online store. To order a 4-pack of the BR-401 AAA NiMH batteries (Item # 147423), click here. To order the B-90SU NiMH Quick Charger and Battery Set (Item # 200899), click here. See similar questions...

Performance - NiMH batteries will greatly out-perform standard NiCd batteries in high-drain applications. Capacity (Mah) - The amount of energy stored by the battery. NiMH has more than twice the capacity of standard NiCd. This results in much longer run times. Memory Effect - NiMH batteries can be charged or “topped-off” at any time without affecting battery life. In order to achieve optimum performance from NiCd batteries, they must be fully discharged before recharging. See similar questions...

Nimh (Nickel metal Hydride) rechargeable batteries will save you money. They can be charged up to 500-1000 times and last longer than alkaline or NiCd batteries. Our Nimh batteries are compatible with most consumer devices and are ideal for digital cameras and flash units, CD players, RC vehicles, PDA's, portable two-way radios, gameboys, toys, GPS receivers, flashlights, and many more high drain devices.

The life of a Nimh rechargeable battery operating under normal conditions is generally around 500 charge-discharge cycles but you may experience more or less depending on the usage conditions and the internal condition of the battery. As a general rule the higher the discharge and charge rates as well as the deeper the discharge between charges the fewer charge/discharge cycles will be obtained. See similar questions...

Definitely yes when compared to other battery power options. Over 2 Billion alkaline batteries are used and disposed of each year in the United States alone. Disposable batteries are certainly a contributor to landfill pollution. Nimh batteries could replace hundreds of alkaline throw-aways. NiCd batteries use Cadmium, a highly toxic heavy metal that can damage the environment if not disposed of properly. (They should be recycled not discarded). See similar questions...

Technically, NiMH batteries do not have a "memory effect", but strictly speaking neither do NiCds. However NiMH batteries can experience voltage depletion, also called voltage depression, similar to that of NiCd batteries, but the effect is normally less noticeable. To completely eliminate the possibility of NiMH batteries suffering any voltage depletion effect manufacturers recommend an OCCASIONAL, complete discharge of NiMH batteries followed by a full recharge. See similar questions...

The main difference between Nicad and Nimh batteries is the energy density and the reduced crystalization (memory) of the Nimh battery. Nimh (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries have more energy and will not be as prone to "memory" as Nicad (Nickel Cadium). The Nicad is known as the workhorse of the portable battery industry and is high cycling solid performer but if not charged/discharged properly will be prone to develope memory.

For most electronic devices it is better to use NiMH batteries than NiCd batteries. NiCd batteries use Cadmium, a highly toxic heavy metal, that can damage the environment if not disposed of properly. (They should be recycled not discarded). NiMH batteries usually have a higher capacity than NiCd batteries of the same size. Some people argue that NiCd batteries deliver faster discharge rates than NiMH batteries. See similar questions...

Usually they can in spite of the fact that NiMH batteries are 1.2 volts and alkaline batteries are 1.5 volts. Alkaline batteries start their life at 1.5 volts and gradually drop to 1.0 volts whereas NiMH batteries stay at about 1.2 volts for 80% of their discharge cycle. See similar questions...

Composed by Dr Tom J. Chalko (Australia) who organized more than 50 public lectures for Michel Desmarquet, set up a web site for The Book and was asked by Michel to answer all emails addressed to him since 1995. Questions are taken from Michel lectures and from the correspondence. All answers have been discussed with and authorized by Michel. See similar questions...

NiMH batteries are a viable new option for R/C power which provide much longer run time than similar capacity NiCD batteries. The only real concern is proper charging. NiMH, if it is to be fast charged, MUST be fast charged on a specialized charger called a delta peak. The normal peak process of a NiCD charger will overheat your NiMH batteries and dramatically shorten their life span before it ever recognizes the cells are properly charged. NiMH will slow charge just like NiCD cells. See similar questions...
