16. A BRIEF GUIDE TO BATTERY TYPES
When handling rechargeable batteries a number of safety measures must always be obser-
a rechargeable battery, you accept liability for the consequences.

16.1 NICKEL-CADMIUM (NC) BATTERIES

We recommend the following charge rates for NC batteries:
High-energy batteries: 1 - 2C; please observe the battery manufacturer's stated figures.
High-current batteries: 2 - 3C, max. 5C; please check the maximum charge current figures
stated by the battery manufacturer. Check also that the connectors and charge lead are
suitable for such high currents.

16.2 NICKEL-METAL-HYDRIDE (NIMH) BATTERIES

We recommend the following charge rates for NiMH batteries:
High-energy batteries: 0.5 - 1C; please observe the battery manufacturer's stated figures.
High-current batteries: usually 1C, but many cell types can be charged at 1.5 ... 2C; please
check the maximum charge current figures stated by the battery manufacturer.

16.3 LEAD-ACID (PB) BATTERIES

gastight, and therefore less hazardous than conventional lead-acid types.
because the acid is corrosive, and the cells generate gas when overcharged.

of clean water, and seek medical attention immediately. Never place lead-acid cells or
batteries in your mouth, as they are poisonous.
