    NiCad: Nickel Cadmium<\/h2><\/span>\n

    * Pros:
    \n– extreme temps
    \n– deep discharge, i.e. high output
    \n– longer battery life: 700-1000 cycles
    \n– least thermal run away
    \n* Cons:
    \n– memory effect: can only be charged to last full charge so need to be fully charged after each use.
    \n– not environmental friendly<\/p>\n

    NiMH: Nickel Metal Hydride<\/h2><\/span>\n

    * Pros:
    \n– higher capacity than NiCad (2x)
    \n– no memory effect
    \n– deep discharge, i.e. high output
    \n– less thermal run away than Li-ion
    \n* Cons:
    \n– medium temp: -5 to 95 F
    \n– less capacity than Li-ion
    \n– less battery life than NiCad: 500-800 cycles
    \n– weak cell syndrome: weakest cell prevails
    \n* NiMH charger can NOT be used for Li-ion batteries<\/p>\n

    Li-ion: Lithium Ion<\/h2><\/span>\n

    * Pros:
    \n– high energy density
    \n– best deep discharge
    \n– environmental friendly
    \n* Cons:
    \n– least temp
    \n– thermal runaway: explosion
    \n– short battery life: 400-750 cycles
    \n* Li-ion charger can be used for NiMH batteries
    \n* Li-ion is different from lithium batteries which are NON-rechargeable<\/p>\n
