Abstract
Nickel–cadmium batteries were invented at the turn of the nineteenth to twentieth century and since that time have been a popular battery choice for many applications, in particular when high current or a high number of cycles is needed for an application. In this chapter, the principle of operation of nickel–cadmium batteries, their charge–discharge cycles, processes in the overcharge phase, self-discharge, memory effect, and failure modes are explained.
