NICKEL CADMIUM BATTERIES: INDIVIDUAL DATA SHEET
In order to maximize battery safety, please consult Panasonic when determining charge / discharge specs, warning label contents and unit design. Note: [It] was previously expressed
Ni–Cd batteries used to replace 9 V batteries usually only have six cells, for a terminal voltage of 7.2 volts. While most pocket radios will operate satisfactorily at this voltage, some manufacturers such as Varta made 8.4 volt batteries with seven cells for more critical applications.

When not under load or charge, a Ni–Cd battery will self-discharge approximately 10% per month at 20 °C, ranging up to 20% per month at higher temperatures. It is possible to perform a trickle charge at current levels just high enough to offset this discharge rate; to keep a battery fully charged.
For a charging voltage higher than 1.45V/cell, the current is limited @ 0.1C5. It is the voltage per cell at which the discharge is finished. For Ni-Cd, it is recommended to select a low EOD voltage (e.g. 1.00 V per cell), irrespective of the discharge time. The number of cells is linked to the voltage window of the load.
