Greetings all, One of our Engineering Teams wants to use a NiCad battery pack in an upcoming product (laboratory instrument). I'm suppose to become an expert on Worldwide Environmental Impact of NiCad batteries in 24 hours so I can give a report in a meeting (haven't we all been there before?). We have never used NiCad batteries in the past so we know very little. Searching the Internet I can tell there is a lot of debate in Europe over banning of NiCads.
Would some knowledgeable battery expert out there be able to give me the current and near future situation regarding the use of rechargeable batteries, NiCads and other, for Europe and North America? Things that come to mind are construction, ease of removal, recycling, safety, labeling, documentation, shipping restrictions, disposal, etc.. Thanks to all, Brian Kunde LECO Corp. ------------------------------------------- This message is from the IEEE EMC Society Product Safety Technical Committee emc-pstc discussion list.
