Experimental Analysis of Ni-MH High Power Cells

Nowadays lithium batteries very often are considered the best choice, both for stationary and mobile applications. However, their cost remains higher than some other technologies, despite a significant decline in the last years. Additionally, for safety reasons accurate thermal management is needed, not to exceed the maximum allowed temperature. It is therefore of interest to evaluate alternative technologies. This paper shows the results of the evaluation made of a Ni-MH high-power cell, used into a funded project aimed to develop innovative solutions for automated warehouses. This cell was accurately analysed and compared with one of the most performing lithium cells on the market, showing good results.
