Why are Monster PowerCells made of rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NIMH) and not rechargeable alkaline or rechargeable Nickel Cadmium (NiCad)?

0

Top Rechargeable Monster PowerCells are made of Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) for a number of reasons. NiMH batteries are far superior to alkaline and NiCad chemistries because of the amount of capacity, lighter weight, recharge cycles, no memory effect, not to mention the enormous cost savings over time.Rechargeable alkaline batteries can only be charged up to 50 times. What’s more, alkaline batteries must be completely discharged before they can be charged again. Because of its chemistry, rechargeable nickel cadmium (NiCad) has a limitation to the amount of capacity it can hold. In addition, NiCad batteries are highly susceptible to ‘memory effect’.
