RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

RECHARGEABLE BATTERYSealed alkaline nucleotidase (NiCd) and Nickel-metallgidridnye (NiMH) batteries are finding increasing application not only in industrial devices but also in home appliances, replacing batteries size AA and AAA. But these batteries, like any other, eventually “emptied” and require charging. To recharge, as recommended by the instructions for use and marking of the batteries themselves, through them must pass through the current ICT = 0.1 mA from the numerical value of the nominal capacity C for 12 — 16 hours.
