A Ipakethi yebhetri yeNiCd Ngokwesiqhelo siquka iiseli ezininzi ze-NiCd eziqhagamshelwe kuthotho okanye ngokunxuseneyo ukufezekisa amandla ombane kunye nomthamo ofunekayo. Ezi pakethi zebhetri ziqhele ukusetyenziswa kwizixhobo zombane eziphathwayo, izixhobo zombane, ukukhanya okungxamisekileyo, kunye nezinye izicelo ezifuna umthombo wamandla othembekileyo nophinda utshajwe.
Iibhetri ze-NiCd ziyaziwa ngokuxinana kwamandla aphezulu, nto leyo evumela ukuba zigcine isixa esibalulekileyo sombane. Kwakhona bayakwazi ukuhambisa okwangoku okuphezulu, okwenza ukuba bafanelekele izicelo ezifuna ukukhutshwa ngokukhawuleza. Ukongeza, iibhetri zeNiCd zinobomi bomjikelo omde, okuthetha ukuba zinokutshajwa kwaye ziphinde zisetyenziswe amaxesha amaninzi.
