Alcad have nearly 100 years' experience in the development and manufacture of pocket plate cells and batteries. Today, they offer the widest range of high quality nickel-cadmium batteries available throughout the world.

The Single Cell portfolio comprises three ranges of high, medium and low rate discharge types.

H Range

The H range uses very thin plates and is designed for applications where there is a demand for a relatively high current over short periods, usually less than 30 minutes in duration. The applications can have frequent or infrequent discharges. The range is typically used in starting and power back-up applications.


M Range

The M range is designed for applications where the batteries are usually required to sustain electrical loads for between 30 minutes to 3 hours or for "mixed" loads which involve a mixture of high and low discharge rates. The applications can have frequent or infrequent discharges. The range is typically used in power back-up applications.


L Range

The L range has the thickest plates and is designed for applications where the battery is required to provide a reliable source of energy over relatively long discharge periods. Normally, the current is relatively low in comparison with the total stored energy and the discharges are generally infrequent. Typical uses are power back-up and bulk energy storage.
