What are NiMH batteries?

Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are rechargeable batteries that are both reliable and environmentally friendly. This battery type is the mandatory alternative to NiCd, as those have been banned in portable applications since August 18, 2025.

NiMH batteries offer high capacity, contain no cadmium, and can be recharged hundreds of times without any significant memory effect. As a result, they deliver stable performance in a wide range of applications, such as flashlights, headlamps, and security equipment.

Thanks to their favorable price-performance ratio, NiMH batteries are a sustainable and practical choice for business and industrial applications. At Elfa, you can find both NiMH batteries and suitable (fast) chargers!
