High Capacity, Quick Charging, Greater Reliability-
Twicell Provides Powerful Support for High-Tech Equipment.
SANYO named its high-performance nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries "Twicell", a name to suggest their outstanding
characteristics. Twicell batteries last twice as long as SANYOﾕs standard Cadnica [nickel-cadmium] batteries from a single charging cycle.
In 1990, SANYO began the mass-production of Twicell batteries. Now Twicell batteries are one of the keys for the downsizing and
advanced functions of high-tech equipment.
Twicell batteries use a positive electrode made of nickel oxide compound and a negative electrode made of a oxide absorbing alloy. These
sophisticated materials combine with SANYOﾕs proprietary technology to ensure unbeatably high performance and dependability. As a
result, Twicell batteries have been a top seller right from the start. And now an extended Twicell line accommodates a broader range of
applications.

The name "Twicell" derives from that it can be used for approximately twice as long as our standard Cadnica
(Nickel-Cadmium) battery after one charging.
