The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (FoC) offers NiCd battery testing services that determine the safety and performance capabilities of NiCd batteries. As battery technology progresses and society becomes more environmentally conscious, manufacturers are becoming increasingly interested in using different types of battery systems to power their products. Our battery testing lab is a third-party facility that supports companies as they ensure that their battery designs are safe, durable, effective, and compliant with industry standards.
What are NiCd Batteries?
Nickel-cadmium, also referred to as NiCd batteries, is a common battery solution for electronics that require rechargeable batteries. NiCd batteries are comprised of an alkaline solution, nickel oxide hydroxide, and metallic cadmium electrodes, making them a highly versatile battery capable of powering a wide range of devices from consumer electronics to emergency backup systems. NiCd batteries have several benefits:
- They have a high energy density, enabling them to store significant amounts of energy in a compact package.
- They can withstand a large number of charge-discharge cycles, so they’re adept at powering devices that require sustained power for extended periods.
- They function well in extreme temperatures, so their performance isn’t heavily impacted by severe heat or cold.
- They have fast charging capabilities, reducing downtime.
- They offer a reliable performance throughout their life cycle, which helps them excel as a power source for applications that require uninterrupted power.
While NiCd are known to have specific strengths and weaknesses, manufacturers must still test their batteries’ suitability for specific tasks and environments. Fortunately, our lab is perfectly equipped to assist businesses with their assessment of batteries.
