What is the most common rechargeable battery?
The two most common types of rechargeable batteries are nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium ion (Li-ion). NiMH batteries have a voltage output of 1.2V and tend to have a higher capacity — measured in milliampere hours (mAh), a measure of how much electrical charge they can store.
Which is better Li-Ion or NiMH or NiCd?
NiMH batteries offer a higher capacity than Nicad batteries, and less capacity than Li-Ion. They are nearly twice as heavy as Nicad batteries. They also don't have a memory effect.
How do I know if my battery is NiCd or NiMH?
1 Answer. NiCd cells are much more dense then NiMH, so if you have two cells of the same size (e.g. AA), it's easy to determine by "hefting". However, with a sealed battery, this may not be so obvious.

They may be marked "rechargeable", or they may be labeled with a charging rate or protocol. If neither, they should almost certainly be marked with their ehemistry type.
