Why is nickel metal hydride battery more popular than developed lithium ion battery?

Before nickel metal hydride battery is widely used, we tend to use nickel cadmium battery. Because the cadmium in battery is toxic, it is now basically eliminated. The razor, remote control, electric toothbrushes and other products tend to use NI-MH batteries. Lithium battery technology has well developed, has better performance than NI-MH batteries, and it has reasonable cost. Why not lithium ion battery being widely used in the small home appliance?

First cost problem, and take the razor, for example, the important parts of the razor has a motor and segment, the motor is more sensitive to current, lithium battery and nickel metal hydride, nickel cadmium battery voltage and discharge characteristics of each is different, if want to change the battery, will have to change motor, for already has a mature production line manufacturers, there is no doubt that cost a lot more expensive. And lithium battery although cheap, but still want to more expensive than NI-MH batteries.

Electronic devices need to be followed by mobile phones as thin as possible, battery characteristics of mobile phone need to have some NI-MH batteries can't do that, or can do but the cost is more expensive, so weigh, or lithium batteries more cost-effective. Need razor is relatively strong current, the short time that nickel cadmium battery to do better, but the reason also said the above, cadmium is toxic, then that's ok. Also razor electric current is bigger, easy to heat, easy to have a blast, lithium-ion batteries burn this kind of dangerous, specially designed with lithium batteries have to protective measures, and there is no such concern with NI-MH batteries.

And many people have a misunderstanding, is relatively backward nickel metal hydride batteries, lithium batteries is advanced. Actually otherwise, nickel metal hydride batteries in many indicators is not worse than the lithium battery, some even better. Such as force, the prototype system. As said, it has 3000 mAh battery capacity, definitely will be enough for daily life, more than one thousand five hundred cycles, in life than a lot of lithium battery.

Like a razor, electric toothbrush, this kind of thing we require durable and long life, after all is in a few minutes a day, other times there is no basic, so the battery must withstand placed, tolerance for solitude. This point ate kui lithium-ion batteries, lithium batteries easy leakage, very restless, who also don't want to be about to change a battery to the small home appliance with a few months, very troublesome. So than Bohemian lithium battery, this place thrifty force strong battery will do better, compared to traditional material of batteries, the metal atoms structure more tidy, can be locked tightly, even if there no more than a year, and then pick up still can maintain more than 80% of the electricity, it's so pure not contrived, like those enchanting outside battery very not?

To sum up, the reason that we still use NI-MH batteries on some small home appliance, one is the cost, but NI-MH batteries have better performance than lithium battery. The most representative of NI-MH batteries is LITELONG rechargeable battery. If you are worry about changing battery for short time, you can try LITELONG battery.
