NI-CD Battery
The NI-CD (Nickel-Cadmium) Battery by UKB features a steel pocket plate structure, providing durability against sudden failures and internal corrosion due to the lack of interaction between active materials and the electrolyte. The tough polypropylene casing ensures a long operational life, while a specially designed flame-arresting flip-top vent prevents corrosive emissions, ensuring safety and reliability.
