Pursuing coexistence with the global environment in its business vision, Panasonic places
reduction of the environmental impact in all its business activities as one of the important
themes in its mid-term management plan. In its ‘eco ideasStrategy, which focuses in particular
on rapid implementation of measures to prevent global warming and global promotion of envi-
ronmental sustainability management, Panasonic is advancing three key initiatives: ‘eco ideas
for Manufacturing, ‘eco ideasfor Products, and ‘eco ideasfor Everybody, Everywhere.

Industrial Revolution’. Based on this
rec og nition, Panasonic has built an
‘eco ideas’ House on the premise of our
showroom, Panasonic Center Tokyo in
April 2009 in order to help create a
carbon-free society and reduce CO2
emissions from a household sector.
The concept of this ‘eco ideas’ House
can be described as follows:
1. Virtually zero CO2 emissions in an
entire house envisaged in three to

2. Synergy of technology and nature
Aforementioned concepts shows that
Panasonic is not only aware of is en vi -

In order to take full advantage of the properties of Ni-MH
batteries and also to prevent problems due to improper use,
please note the following points during the use and design of
battery operated products.

Charge batteries within an ambient temperature range of
C to 4C. Ambient temperature during charging affects
charging efficiency. As charging efficiency is best within a
temperature range of 10°C to 30°C, whenever possible place
the charger (battery pack) in a location within this tempera-
ture range.
At temperatures below C the gas absorption reaction is
not adequate, causing gas pressure inside the battery to rise,
which can activate the safety vent and lead to leakage of
alkaline gas and deterioration in battery performance.
Charging efficiency drops at temperatures above 40°C. This
can disrupt full charging and lead to deterioration in perform-
ance and battery leakage.

Sufficient care must be taken during the design of the
charger when charging batteries connected in parallel.
Consult Panasonic when parallel charging is required.

Never attempt reverse charging. Charging with polarity
reversed can cause a reversal in battery polarity causing gas
pressure inside the battery to rise, which can activate the safety
vent, lead to alkaline electrolyte leakage, rapid deterioration
in
battery performance, battery swelling or battery rupture.

Avoid overcharging. Repeated overcharging can lead to
deterioration in battery performance. (‘Overcharging’ means
charging a battery when it is already fully charged.)

To charge batteries rapidly, use the specified charger (or
charging method recommended by Panasonic) and follow the
correct procedures.

Trickle charging cannot be used with Ni-MH batteries, except
specific high temperature batteries (please contact Panasonic
to get more information). However, after applying a refresh
charge using a rapid charge, use a trickle charge of 0.033CmA
to 0.05CmA. Also, to avoid overcharging with trickle charge,
which could damage the cell characteristics, a timer meas-
uring the total charge time should be used.

During charging and discharging, ‘CmAis a value indicating
current and expressed as a multiple of nominal capacity.
Substitute ‘C’ with the batterys nominal capacity when calcu-
lating. For example, for a 1500mAh battery of 0.033CmA, this
value is equal to 1/30 x 1500, or roughly 50mA.

Discharge batteries within an ambient temperature range of
-10°C to +45°C.
Discharge current level (i. e. the current at which a battery is
discharged) affects discharging efficiency. Discharging
effi-
ciency is good within a current rangeof 0.1CmA to 2CmA.
Discharge capacity drops at temperatures below -10°C or
above +4C. Such decreases in discharge capacity can lead
to deterioration in battery performance.

Since overdischarging (deep discharge) damages the battery
characteristics, do not forget to turn off the switch when
discharging, and do not leave the battery connected to the
equipment for long periods of time. Also, avoid shipping the
battery installed in the equipment.

Store batteries in a dry location with low humidity, no corro-
sive gases, and at a temperature range of -2C to +4C.
Storing batteries in a location where humidity is extremely
high or where temperatures fall below -20°C or rise above
+45°C can lead to the rusting of metallic parts and battery
leakage due to expansion or contraction in parts composed
of organic materials.

Because long-term storage can accelerate battery self-
discharge and lead to the deactivation of reactants, locations
where the temperature ranges between +10°C and +30°C are
suitable for long-term storage.
When charging for the first time after long-term storage,
deactivation of reactants may lead to increased battery voltage
and decreased battery capacity. Restore such batteries to
original performance by repeating several cycles of charging
and discharging.
When storing batteries for more than 1 year, charge at least
once a year to prevent leakage and deterioration in perform-
ance due to selfdischarging.

Batteries used under proper conditions of charging and
discharging can be used 500 cycles or more. Significantly
reduced service time in spite of proper charging means that
the life of the battery has been exceeded.
Also, at the end of service life, an increase in internal resist-
ance, or an internal short-circuit failure may occur. Chargers
and charging circuits should therefore be designed to ensure
safety in the event of heat generated upon battery failure at
the end of service life.

Because batteries are chemical products involving internal
chemical reactions, performance deteriorates not only with
use but also during prolonged storage.
Normally, a battery will last 2 years (or 500 cycles) if used
under proper conditions and not overcharged or overdis-
charged. However, failure to satisfy conditions concerning
charging, discharging, temperature and other factors during
actual use can lead to shortened life (or cycle life) damage to
products and deterioration in performance due to leakage and
shortened service life.

Never solder a lead wire and other connecting materials
directly to the battery, as doing so will damage the batterys
internal safety vent, separator, and other parts made of
organic materials. To connect a battery to a product, spot-
weld a tab made of nickel or nickel-plated steel to the
batterys terminal strip, then solder a lead wire to the tab.
Perform soldering in as short a time as possible.
Use caution in applying pressure to the terminals in cases
where the battery pack can be separated from the equip-

Because small amounts of alkaline electrolyte can leak from
the battery seal during extended use or when the safety vent
is activated during improper use, a highly alkaline-resistant
material should be used for a product’s contact terminals in
order to avoid problems due to corrosion.
(Note that stainless steel generally results in higher contact resistance.)

Excessively high temperatures (i.e. higher than 4C) can
cause alkaline electrolyte to leak from the battery, thus
damaging the product and shorten battery life by causing
deterioration in the separator or other battery parts. Install
batteries far from heat-generating parts of the product. The
best battery position is in a battery compartment that is
composed of an alkaline-resistant material which isolates
the batteries from the product’s circuitry. This prevents
damage that may be caused by a slight leakage of alkaline
electrolyte from the battery.

Overdischarging (deep discharging) or reverse charging
damages the battery characteristics. In order to prevent
damage associated with forgetting to turn off the switch or

Never reverse charge or overcharge with high currents (i.e.
higher than rated). Doing so causes rapid gas generation and
increased gas pressure, thus causing batteries to swell or
rupture.
Charging with an unspecified charger or specified charger
that has been modified can cause batteries to swell or
rupture. Be sure to indicate this safety warning clearly in all
operating instructions as a handling restriction for ensuring
safety.

More and more electric products with sophisticated func-
tions require extremely compact and light battery solutions
delivering a high level of energy density. To meet these
needs Panasonic Ni-MH batteries have been developed and
manufactured with nickel hydroxide for the positive electrode
and hydrogen-absorbing alloys, capable of absorbing and
releasing hydrogen at high-density levels, for the negative
electrode. The Ni-MH battery technology is nowadays the Ni-Cd
(nickel cadmium) successor technology for rechargeable and
portable devices. All of our Ni-MH batteries are cadmium-
free, in order not to be harmful to human beings and our
environment.

Ni-MH batteries consist of a positive plate containing nickel
hydroxide as its principal active material, a negative plate
mainly composed of hydrogen-absorbing alloys, a separator
made of fine fibers, an alkaline electrolyte, a metal case and a
sealing plate provided with a self-resealing safety vent. Their
basic structure is identical to that of Ni-Cd batteries. With
cylindrical Ni-MH batteries, the positive and negative plates
are divided by the separator, wound into a coil, inserted into
the case, and sealed by the sealing plate through an electrically
insulated gasket, see page 13.
Panasonic expands the line of Ni-MH cells that are superior
to standard Ni-MH products in applications with low-rate
charge at high temperatures. Improvements were made in
existing Panasonic Ni-MH cells to the negative plate alloy and
separator fiber density. A different electrolyte composition
was achieved to improve performance. Superior long-life
char acteristics can be achieved when combined with appro-
priate intermittent charge control circuitry. The intermittent
charge consumes 1/30th the electricity compared to trickle
charge and more than doubles the expected life of the
Ni-MH
cells compared to Ni-Cd cells that have been trickle
charged.

Panasonic Ni-MH batteries can either be used for standard
applications with a moderate ambient temperature or for
applications which requires high temperature resistance.

Hydrogen-absorbing alloys have a comparatively short
history which dates back about 20 years to the discovery of
NiFe, MgNi and LaNi5 alloys. They are capable of absorbing
hydrogen equivalent to about a thousand times of their own
volume, generating metal hydrides and also of releasing the
hydrogen that they absorbed. These hydrogen-absorbing
alloys combine metal (A) whose hydrides generate heat
exothermically with metal (B) whose hydrides generate heat
endothermically to produce the suitable binding energy so
that hydrogen can be absorbed and released at or around
normal temperature and pressure levels. Depending on
how metals A and B are combined, the alloys are classified
into the following types: AB (TiFe, etc.), AB2 (ZnMn2, etc.),
AB5 (LaNi5, etc.) and A2B (Mg2Ni, etc.). From the perspective
of charge and discharge efficiency and durability, the field
of candidate metals suited for use as electrodes in storage
batteries is now being narrowed down to AB5 type alloys in
which rare-earth metals, especially metals in the lanthanum
group, and nickel serve as the host metals; and to AB2 type
alloys in which the titanium and nickel serve as the host
metals. Panasonic is now focusing its attention on AB5
type alloys which feature high capacity, excellent charge
and discharge efficiency, and excellent cycle life. It has
developed, and is now employing its own MmNi5 alloy which
uses Mm (misch metal an alloy consisting of a mixture of
rare-earth elements) for metal A.

Ni-MH batteries employ nickel hydroxide for the positive
electrode similar to Ni-Cd batteries. The hydrogen is stored
in a hydrogen-absorbing alloy for the negative electrode,
and an aqueous solution consisting mainly of potassium
hydroxide for the electrolyte. Their charge and discharge
reactions are shown below.
As can be seen by the overall reaction given above, the chief
characteristics of the principle behind a Ni-MH battery is that
hydrogen moves from the positive to the negative electrode
during charge and reverse during discharge, with the elec-
trolyte taking no part in the reaction; which means that there
is no accompanying increase or decrease in the electrolyte.
A model of this batterys charge and discharge mechanism
is shown in the figure on the following page. These are the

faces of the positive and negative electrodes, and to assist
one in understanding the principle, the figure shows
ho
w the
reactions proceed by the transfer of protons (H+).
The hydrogen-absorbing alloy negative electrode success-
fully reduces the gaseous oxygen given off from the positive
electrode during overcharge by sufficiently increasing the
capacity of the negative electrode which is the same method
employed by Ni-Cd batteries.
By keeping the battery’s internal pressure constant in this
manner, it is possible to seal the battery.

The charge characteristics of Ni-MH batteries are affected
by current, time and temperature. The battery voltage
rises when the charge current is increased or when the
temperature is low. The charge efficiency differs depending
on the current, time, temperature and other factors. Ni-MH
batteries should be charged at a temperature ranging from
C to 40°C using a constant current of 1C or less. The charge
efficiency is particularly good at a temperature of 10°C to
30°C. Repeated charge at high or low temperatures causes
the battery performance to deteriorate. Furthermore, repeated
overcharge should be avoided since it will downgrade the
battery performance. Refer to the section on recommended

The discharge characteristics of Ni-MH batteries are
affected by current, temperature, etc., and the discharge
voltage characteristics are flat at 1.2V, which is almost the
same as for Ni-Cd batteries. The discharge voltage and
discharge efficiency decrease in proportion as the current
rises or the temperature drops. As with Ni-Cd batteries,
repeated charge and discharge of these batteries under
high discharge cut-off voltage conditions (more than 1.1V
per cell) causes a drop in the discharge voltage (which
is sometimes accompanied by a simultaneous drop in
capacity). The discharge characteristics can be restored by
charge and discharge to a discharge end voltage of down to
1.0V per cell.

These characteristics include self-discharge characteristics
and restoration characteristics after long-term storage.
When batteries are left standing, their capacity generally
drops due to self-discharge, but this is restored by charge.
Self-discharge is affected by the temperature at which the
batteries are left standing and the length of time during
which they are left standing. It increases in proportion
as the temperature or the shelf-standing time increases.

The cycle life of these batteries is governed by the conditions
under which they are charged and discharged, temperature
and other conditions of use. Under proper conditions of
use (example: IEC charge and discharge conditions), these
batteries can be charged and discharged for more than 500
cycles.

When the internal pressure of these batteries rises due to
overcharge, short-circuiting, reverse charge or other abuse
or misuse, the self-resealing safety vent is activated to
prevent battery damage.

Charge is the process of restoring a discharged battery to
its original capacity. In order for a battery to be usable for a
long period of time, it must be charged via the proper charge
method. Various methods are used to charge recharge-
able cells, but Panasonic recommends the charge methods
described below to charge its Ni-MH batteries.

range: 0°C to 40°C). In order to exercise proper control
to stop rapid charge, it is recommended that batteries be
charged at over 0.5CmA but less than 1CmA. Charging
batteries at a current in excess of 1CmA may cause the safety
vent to be activated by a rise in the internal pressure of the
batteries, thereby resulting in electrolyte leakage. When the
temperature of the batteries is detected by a thermistor or
other type of sensor, and their temperature is under C or
over 40°C at the commencement of the charge, then trickle
charge, rather than rapid charge, must be performed. Rapid
charge is stopped when any one of the values among the
types of control described in (4), (5), (6), and (11) reaches the
prescribed level.

deep-discharged batteries during charge may make it impos-
sible to sufficiently restore the capacity of the batteries. To
charge excessively discharged or deep-discharged batteries,
first allow a trickle current to flow, and then proceed with the
rapid charge current once the battery voltage has risen.

battery temperature per unit time is detected by a thermistor
or other type of temperature sensor during rapid charge, and
the prescribed temperature rise is sensed, rapid charge is
stopped and the charge method is switched over to trickle
charge.

life and other characteristics of batteries are impaired if the
batteries are allowed to become too hot during charge. In
order to safeguard against this, rapid charge is stopped and
the charge method is switched over to trickle charge when
the battery temperature has reached the prescribed level.

tion circuit from being activated for a specific period of time
after rapid charge has commenced. However, the dT/dt
detection circuit is allowed to be activated during this time.
As with Ni-Cd batteries, the charge voltage of Ni-MH batteri
es
may show signs of swinging (pseudo - ∆V)
when they have been
kept standing for a long time or when they have discharged
excessively, etc. The initial delay timer is needed to prevent
charge from stopping (to prevent malfunctioning) due to this
pseudo - ∆V.

The optimal charge system for the Ni-MH ’H’’ Series for
back-up power applications is an intermittent timer charge.
An intermittent timer charge improves charge efficiency,
extends battery life (-vs- trickle charge) and reduces electri-
city consumption up to 30% compared to trickle charge*2.

Using the catalogs and data sheets for the batteries currently
produced and marketed, narrow down the number of
candidates to a few battery types. From those candidates,
select the one battery that most closely satisfies the ideal
conditions required. In actual practice, the selection of a
battery is rarely completed as easily as this. In most cases it
is necessary to consider eliminating or relaxing some of the
proposed specifications, and then select the most suitable
battery from among those currently available to meet the
adjusted conditions. This process makes it possible to select
more economical batteries. If you have any doubts at this
stage, consult closely with a battery engineer. In some cases,
newly improved or newly developed batteries that are not yet
listed in the catalog may be available. Normally the required
specifications are also finalized at this stage.

For the most part, Ni-MH batteries are used in battery
packs when installed in products. When these batteries
are used, the type of battery, number of cells, shape of the
pack, constituent parts of the pack, etc., are determined by
the specifications (voltage, load current) of the product. In
addition, the charge specifications, space available in the
battery compartment, operating conditions, etc., must also be
considered. At Panasonic, we are working on the promotion
of battery packs which emphasize the safety and reliability of
the batteries. We customize packs in the shapes that satisfy
the unique requirements of each of our customers.  
