Hydrides are important in storage battery technologies such as Nickel-metal hydride battery.

Another example of a secondary cell is the sealed rechargeable nickel/metal hydride battery.

The superior capacity of the Nickel-metal hydride batteries, and more recently their lower cost, has largely supplanted their use.

Nickel-metal hydride batteries are being manufactured there and the location is now also used to support customers with the engineering of lithium-ion battery packs.

Nickel-metal hydride batteries were very expensive at the time, so only the most well funded teams could afford them.

Nickel-metal hydride batteries are now considered a relatively mature technology.

The hybrid cars that we're familiar with use nickel metal hydride battery packs.

Hybrids are using nickel-metal hydride batteries to store and return high-voltage energy to the vehicle.

Lithium-ion batteries have a higher specific energy than nickel-metal hydride batteries, but they are significantly more expensive to produce.

According to Gates, which is developing a hydride substitute, a fully charged hydride battery would lose its charge after standing for two months.
