What are the main differences between Ni-MH and Li-Ion batteries?
Ni-MH rechargeable batteries are a mixture of Nickel and Metal Hydride. They are 2 to 3 times more powerful than cadmium-based rechargeables and they have no memory effect. They are ideal for usage in digital devices, such as radio controlled toys, MP3 players, video game consoles, digital cameras… Li-Ion rechargeable batteries are a mixture of Lithium and Ion. They produce 40% to 50% more power than Ni-MH rechargeables with a similar capacity, and are considerably lighter. They are ideal for mobile phones and laptops, video cameras and digital cameras.
