Valve regulated lead acid (VRLA)

Rechargeable Batteries

Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
NiMH technology is now the primary rechargeable battery chemistry. It is an excellent alternative to standard alkaline batteries and is available in all of the standard sizes - AA, AAA, D, C, and 9V. NiMH batteries have an impressive perform in high power devices such as digital audio / video, portable communications, digital cameras, and motor driven applications.

Valve regulated lead acid (VRLA)
Lead acid batteries remain a cost effective power solution for larger (over 2Ah) standby systems.

Although a mature technology, several product options have been developed to meet specific market demands (Front Access, Extra High Cyclic, Extra Long Life).

Nickel cadmium
A mature and well understood technology which remains the most cost effective in many applications. Despite being limited by EU Regulations it is still an acceptable solution for power tools, medical applications, emergency lighting and specialist industrial devices.

Non-Rechargeable Batteries

Alkaline
The most popular premium tier, all purpose, portable power technology. The main applications for alkaline batteries are continuous high rate discharge, longer life applications such as wireless devices, infusion pumps, MP3 players, portable video deivces, motorised devices and smoke alarms.

Lithium
Combined high voltage, high energy density, lightweight, long life battery technology. The main applications for standard sized lithium batteries are digital cameras, MP3 players, GPS units and smoke detectors.
