Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) batteries provide up to 200% more power than Nickel Cadmium (Ni-CD) rechargeable batteries, will significantly outperform alkaline batteries, in most digital applications and will greatly outperform Ni-CD batteries in high-drain applications. Ni-MH batteries have a rechargeable life of up to 1000 cycles, 25% more than Ni-CD. Ni-MH batteries have no Cadmium added. Cadmium is hazardous to the environment.
