Whats the best battery for Midland two-way radios?

0

Most Midland two-way radios use Nickel-Cadmium (NiCD) or Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) batteries. These batteries are durable and forgiving if abused. The recommended alternative is NiMH, a two way radio battery that has higher energy density and contains no toxic metals. Comparing the two, NiCD two way radio batteries has an advantage of a high number of charge/discharge cycles, if properly maintained, nickel-cadmium provides over 1000 charge/discharge cycles. A nickel-metal-hydride two way radio battery, on the other hand, starts with good capacity, but the performance starts to deteriorate after 200-300 cycles if repeatedly deeply cycled. NiMH two-way radio batteries are less prone to memory effect than NiCD, requiring fewer exercise cycles. Nickel based batteries require regular full discharge to prevent crystalline formation. NiCD should be exercised once a month, NiMH once in every 3 months. NiMH batteries are environmentally friendly, contains only mild toxins; profitable for recy
