Which batteries are better, NiCd or NiMH batteries?
– For most electronic devices it is better to use NiMH batteries than NiCd batteries. NiCd batteries use Cadmium, a toxic heavy metal that can damage the environment if not disposed of properly. (They should be recycled not discarded). NiMH batteries have a higher capacity without a bigger size battery with no memory effect compared to NiCd.
