A silly chem question?

[gizz72]

Hi everyone,
 I'm wondering, after a year or 2 those Ni-Cad batteries don't least very long, specially on those mobile cell, pc and such....
 So what is better,(though i'm no chemist) but which rechargable cell type should exceed more than a year of life, Metal Hydride(correct spelling?) or Nickel Cadnium battery? Or if you guys know a better mixture, fire away! I'm all eyes!

Thanks

Good day to all Amigans! :-D

I think, of those two, Nickel Metal Hydride(sp?? ) is the better one.

 :-?  :-P  :lol:  :-D

I see. Gee, thanks for the (hot) answers. :-) I appreciate it.
Last question, tell me, any new tech/breakthrough's on this field which would least more than expected? Two years at most?

Thanks again.

Good day to all Amigans! :-D

OMG, you're right. Don't want that in the environment too. All I know is they get to be recycled. But not properly, unfortunatly, being practiced here. Just thinking the number of mobile products produced today can impact the environment tremedously.
How can you dispose of it properly? Any good suggestions(say you don't live near a recycling plant)?
