What Does NICD Stand For?

NICD stands for NNICDNickel Cadmium

NICD, or Nickel Cadmium, refers to a type of rechargeable battery technology that utilizes nickel oxide hydroxide and cadmium metal as its active materials. Known for their robustness and ability to deliver high discharge rates, NICD batteries are commonly used in power tools, medical devices, and various electronic applications. They are characterized by good cycle life and performance in extreme temperatures, though concerns about environmental impact due to cadmium content have led to the increased adoption of alternative battery chemistries.
