We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Rechargeable Nickel-cadmium",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Batteries power water buses from
Saft Industrial Batteries, which we summarised at the time by saying "The high energy storage capacity and light weight of the Saft rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries enables the water buses to remain in constant operation for a six-hour
shift".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Batteries chosen for passenger coaches from
Saft Industrial Batteries: "Saft Matrics MRX rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries willreplace the on-board lead-acid batteries on four new trainsets and 24 existing trainsets".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Saft Industrial Batteries
concerning its Saft Sunica.plus batteries
- take a look at Batteries chosen for oil pipeline
which says: "36 batteries have been ordered for the 680km NK1 oil pipeline project in Algeria".
Take a look also at the news release from Saft Industrial Batteries, Batteries safe hospital Eur 8.5 million,
as well as Company makes vehicle battery choice from Saft Industrial Batteries,
and Battery contract awarded for Beijing trains from Saft Industrial Batteries.
