Most applications where there is a high-energy consumption and demand, is where NiMH battery packs excel. What Are the Best Applications for NiMH Battery Packs?
What is the Difference in NiMH vs Lithium in Overall Cost and Battery Pack Size?. Do I Really Need a BMS for NiMH Battery Pack?. Does an Enclosure for NiMH Custom Battery Pack Need Venting Similar to Lithium Chemistry?.
Will NiMH Batteries Last as Long as a Lithium Battery?. Don’t NiMH Batteries Self-Discharge and Are Prone to the Memory Effect?. What Are the Best Applications for NiMH Battery Packs?. And while NiMH battery packs don't need the complex BMS (battery management system) essential with lithium batteries, we do design and manufacture BMS systems for NiMH packs that help the battery pack last long and communicate with the customer’s device in order to provide the same information as a complex lithium pack. The technology has been driven by its high-energy density (vs NiCd and Lead Acid), being environmentally friendly, good cycle life performance, and with having a good safety and reliability record.
NiMH batteries have been around since the early 1970s. However, for many of the applications that we see, custom Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery packs are more cost effective to design and manufacture and do not come with all the potential hazards associated with lithium products. Many applications, such as cell phones, medical devices, electric vehicles, and others require such a high-energy density that only lithium chemistry will do. Do I really need the expense and the product risk of a lithium chemistry custom battery pack?Ĭustom rechargeable battery packs using lithium cells can provide both high voltage and excellent capacity, resulting in an extraordinary high-energy density.
