A rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride 2CR5 battery is now available for 35mm cameras.This battery and charger system incorporates the latest technology to produce the optimum trade-off between fast charge and long life yield to the battery.

The rechargeable battery technology used, Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), is now the battery technology of choice over Nickel Cadmium (NiCd).

This is mainly because it
has a higher capacity
(gives longer running time) for the same cell size and does not suffer from memory effect.

Another major advantage is that NiMH batteries use metals capable of storing hydrogen (hydrides) which are non-toxic in lieu of cadmium which is toxic.
