INTRODUCTION TO BATTERIES

Certain precautionary measures must be taken when working with batteries, in
order to prevent personal injury and property damage. You bear the responsibility
when using these batteries.
12.1

Nickel-Cadmium batteries (NC)

We recommend the following charge rates for NC batteries:
High-energy batteries: 1 - 2C; please observe the battery manufacturer's recommenda-
tions.
High-current batteries, 2 - 3C, up to 5C under extreme circumstances. Observe any maxi-
mum charge current information provided by the battery manufacturer. Check also that
the connectors and charge leads are suitable for the charge current you have selected.
12.2

NICKEL-METAL-HYDRIDE BATTERIES (NIMH)

We recommend the following charge rates for NiMH batteries:
High-energy batteries: 0.1 ... 1 C; please observe the battery manufacturer's recommen-
dations.
High-current batteries: usually 1C, although many battery types can be charged at 1.5 ...
2C. Observe the maximum charge currents stated by the battery manufacturer.
12.3

LEAD-ACID BATTERIES (PB)

essential to provide adequate ventilation. If overcharged, these batteries generate a
mixture of hydrogen and oxygen which is potentially explosive.
Risk of explosion.
