Maintenance of NiCd cells

Handling NiCd cells

The capacity and life of NiCd cells is dependent on
correct handling.
You should therefore observe the following:
• Do not charge NiCd cells until they are discharged to
the automatic cutout point in normal operation.
• Excess charging with a current which is too high can
cause capacity losses of the NiCd cells.
