Advantages
30-40 percent higher capacity than a standard NiCd
Less prone to memory than NiCd, can be rejuvenated
Simple storage and transportation; not subject to regulatory control
Environmentally friendly; contains only mild toxins
Nickel content makes recycling profitable
Wide temperature range
Disadvantages
Limited service life; deep discharge reduces service life
Requires complex charge algorithm. Sensitive to overcharge
Does not absorb overcharge well; trickle charge must be kept low
Generates heat during fast charge and high-load discharge
High self-discharge
Coulombic efficiency only about 65% (99% with Li-ion)
