Battery Shipping Logistics: A Guide for Shipping Different Battery
This overview examines key logistical factors for transporting major battery technologies, including lead-acid, lithium-ion, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, alkaline,
The nickel–cadmium battery (Ni–Cd battery or NiCad battery) is a type of rechargeable battery using nickel oxide hydroxide and metallic cadmium as electrodes.
China's nickel-cadmium battery production has a history of more than 40 years, forming a complete power system industry from the design and manufacture of various types of plates, components, battery cells and battery packs to battery production and testing equipment.
Thomas Edison patented a nickel– or cobalt–cadmium battery in 1902, and adapted the battery design when he introduced the nickel–iron battery to the US two years after Jungner had built one. In 1906, Jungner established a factory close to Oskarshamn, Sweden, to produce flooded design Ni–Cd batteries.
Nickel-cadmium batteries are also generally considered universal waste. Disposing of these batteries in landfills can cause soil contamination and water pollution. This is why they require special packaging and disposal. Here are some of the packaging and shipping requirements for some of the most common batteries classified as universal waste.
