FAQ
What is the difference between NiCad, NiMH, and Li-Ion?NiCAD (Nickel Cadmium) is an older type of battery and typically only found in older notebooks. The main positive thing about this type of battery is its ability to handle high loads. The main negative aspect about this cell is its tendency to suffer from memory effect, so proper care must be taken when charging and discharging.
NiMH (Nickel metal hydride) is the most common type of battery used in notebooks today. This battery is also susceptible to memory effect, so proper care must be taken when using a NiMH battery.
Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) is one of the newest types of batteries used in notebooks. However, since it has a very high energy retention and is quite light, Li-Ion batteries are also significantly more expensive than other batteries.
