Nickel-Cadmium Batteries

The Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) battery, which is an alkali accumulator, was invented by Waldemar Jungner (1869-1924). It was patented in September 1899 and has since been produced by NiFe Jungner AB in Oskarshamn, Sweden. Originally, the negative electrode was made of iron (Fe), but after a few years of production it was replaced by cadmium (Cd).

NiCd batteries are commonly being used in 110 Volt switchboard plants.

Replacing old Nickel-Cadmium batteries

The old type M203 can be replaced with the new SBM 30,
and old type M402 can be replaced with the new SBM 56.

The dimensions of all availabe cell types are listed in the tables. There are two different cell widths, each of which comes in two heights. The block length is determined by the cell length and the number of cells in the block.

Please note:
  • all the tabulated dimensions are maximum values.
  • all block types with a cell weight exceeding 8.4 kg (18.5 lbs) have handles. The tabulated block length includes 6 mm for handles for these types.
  • for series connection of blocks on racks, always use blocks with an even number of cells. This gives short, straight interblock connectors. When a block with odd number of cells is necessary, it should be placed at the end of a cell row.
