ok i know about the ni-cd and the ni-mh and im buying batts and chargers for my car so im looking and i come across ni-cad is that the same as ni-cd nickel cadium or is it different cause some chargers say suitable for ni-mh and ni-cad and others ni-mh and ni-cd i just want to clear this as i was not sure.
thanks for reading

ni-cd is the same as ni-cad mate ni-mh much better tho

Hello mate, im sure ni-cd and ni-cad they are the same thing.

yeh lozi is right, ni-mah are much much better, :thumbs_up:

compared to ni-cad's ni-mh batteries have a higher capacity and are less toxic so you can have more fun and be less toxic at the same time lol

thanks i just wanted to clear that iv got 1 ni-cd and i will be purchasing 3 ni-mh in this week and a fast charger i jut wanted to be sure. thanks again

No prob's mate, yeh i find its always best to double check things aswell if im not to sure, its better to be safe then sorry :D :thumbs_up: :cheers: :thumbs_up:

If you really wanted to get confused I could start telling you about lipo's. They are the future, but if caution is needed as charging them correctly is critical to stop them exploding. :thumbs_up:

This is what happens when you over charge them

'Lipo-sacks' are mandatory for your safety. :clap: :clap: :clap:

im going to stik with ni.cd and ni.mh for now (my bedroom is bad as it is)

just shows the dangers when charging under your car bonnet

this made me laugh sounds like its nitro

Don't blame you.

They're good but you pay for the privilidge!!

I'm about to order some for a new RC boat I'm putting together. 21volt, 4000mah and because I need them to chuck out over 120amps they are 30c discharge rate.

Cost (each)???.........

.................£180!!! :jump:

:thumbs_up:

Oh and lets Not get Carried away...

Ni-Cad and Ni-Mih are Just as Dangerous as LiPo !!!!

Ni-Cad should Not actually be available really anymore, It was Banned from being Manufactured a few Years ago now...

Ni-Mh is only really any Better, cause it Had to take over from the Demise of the Manufacture of Ni-Cad. If they had carried on, they would have the Capacity etc that Ni-Mh has...

LiPo is the Future, if the Bloody Governing Bodies Let it In 100%. This seems to be getting closer looking at the Big Race Series this year.

All you have to do though with NiMh is...

Buy a Good Charger !!!!!!!

Not All (even though they Say they do) can Charge a NiMh Properly and Correctly.

Wow, didn't know that Russ. :thumbs_up:

With that in mind I gues the only real advantage then is the weight reduction!

I learn something new every day! :thumbs_up:
