A Iphakethe lebhethri le-NiCd ngokuvamile aqukethe amaseli e-NiCd amaningi ngamanye axhunywe ochungechungeni noma ngokuhambisana ukuze kuzuzwe amandla kagesi afiswayo. Lawa maphakethe ebhethri ajwayele ukusetshenziswa kuzinto zikagesi eziphathwayo, amathuluzi kagesi, izibani eziphuthumayo, nezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ezidinga umthombo wamandla onokwethenjelwa futhi oshajwa kabusha.
Amabhethri e-NiCd aziwa ngamandla awo aphezulu uma kuqhathaniswa, okubavumela ukuthi bagcine inani elikhulu likagesi. Bayakwazi futhi ukuletha izinga eliphezulu lamanje, okubenza bafanelekele izinhlelo zokusebenza ezidinga ukukhishwa okusheshayo. Ukwengeza, amabhethri e-NiCd anempilo yomjikelezo omude, okusho ukuthi angashajwa futhi aphinde asetshenziswe izikhathi eziningi.
