Nickel-Cadium Batteries

ALCAD have nearly 100 years experience in the development and manufacture of pocket plate cells and batteries.

Today they offer the widest range of high quality nickel-cadmium batteries available throughout the world.

Alcad batteries are manufactured to ISO 9001 and all Alcad single cell ranges exceed the requirements of the IEC 60623 standard.

ALCAD nickel-cadmium batteries are the battery of choice for many applications.

Their outstanding applications are:

• operation over a temperature range between-20deg. C to +50 deg. C with extremes of -50 deg C to +70 deg C for short periods.
• life in excess of 25 years in many applications
• resistance to high temperature aging
• resistance to electrical abuse
• resistance to shock and vibration
• simple installation
• no acidic fumes
• low life cycle cost

The Single Cell line comprises of three ranges of High, Medium and Low rate discharge types.

L type

The L type range has the thickest plates and are designed for applications, where the battery is required to provide a reliable source of energy over long discharge periods.

M type

The M type range is designed for applications where the batteries are required to sustain electric loads between 30 minutes to 3 hours or for mixed load which is involved.

H type

The type H range are equipped with thin plates and are designed for applications, where there is a demand for high current over short periods, usually last for less than 30 minutes in duration. The H type variety is typically used for engine start ups and for power back up applications.

Other ALCAD battery ranges:

• Vantage range
• XHP range
• Solar range
