Why should you use BS EN 61951-2 – Secondary cells and batteries ?
A sealed cell is a cell that remains closed and does not release either gas or liquid when operated within the limits of charge and temperature specified by the manufacturer. A portable cell is designed mainly for use in an easily hand-carried battery. Nickel-metal hydride is a cell containing a nickel hydroxide compound for the positive electrode, a hydrogen-absorbing alloy for the negative electrode, and potassium hydroxide or other alkaline solution as an electrolyte.
