What are the advantages of nimh battery pack compared to lithium battery?

2022-05-19
Nimh battery pack has always been the core part of the whole vehicle. However, for the battery, it is still in a development stage until today. Therefore, each car company will develop different types of batteries according to their own models. Among them, the most puzzling It is Toyota's hybrid battery type, and still chooses nickel-metal hydride batteries. Why is this?

First of all, there are thousands of batteries, and safety is the first rule. The reason why NiMH battery can become the first choice for hybrid is because it has unparalleled safety performance, why do you say that? On the one hand, the electrolyte in the nickel-hydrogen battery is a non-flammable aqueous solution. On the other hand, the specific heat capacity of the nickel-hydrogen battery is relatively high, and the energy density is relatively low, which means that the nickel-hydrogen battery is even in extreme situations such as short circuit. Under the circumstances, it will not easily catch fire.

Secondly, the characteristics of the hybrid model determine. Due to the working mode of the hybrid system, it is necessary to continuously charge and discharge the battery rapidly, and the nickel-metal hydride battery has good rapid charge and discharge performance, but the lithium battery does not have this feature. Therefore, under this condition, use NiMH batteries have advantages over using lithium batteries.

Finally, economic performance and environmental advantages. As a relatively mature product, nickel-metal hydride batteries have a much lower manufacturing cost than lithium batteries. In addition, the quality control of nickel-metal hydride batteries is very difficult, and the yield of nickel-metal hydride batteries produced is much higher than that of lithium batteries. Therefore, under the combined effect of manufacturing cost and high yield, NiMH batteries are more economical. In addition, nickel-hydrogen batteries do not contain harmful substances and are relatively friendly to the environment. At the same time, because the components of nickel-hydrogen batteries contain rare earths, they can also be recycled, which is more environmentally friendly than lithium batteries.
