NiMH and NiCad Batteries

Regeneration Guide

NiCad batteries are today overtaken by NiMH batteries due to the states regulations that restrain the diffusion of Cadmium, which deeply pollutes the soils. NiCad are still used in specific professional cases when NiMH batteries can't repalce them.

The Nickel batteries know effects of crystallisation that are similar to sulfation. Yet, it has been evidenced that the Bat4life process recovers Nickel batteries by breaking down the internal crysals and cleaning up any memory effect.

A rough 70% of success rate has been observed on NiMH batteries.

User guide

  1. you may use any intermediate metallic conductor to realize the contact to the battery terminals
  2. apply 30' per 5 Ah of capacity
  3. stop immediately the process whenever the battery abnormally heats up
  4. don't exceed 2 hours per 5 Ah of capacity
  5. Examples :
    • Batteries of insdustrial remote controls 7.2V, 3 Ah: apply from 30' up to 2 hours max.
    • Batteries of lawn mowers 12V, 18 Ah: apply from 2 up to 6 hours max.
