What type of battery is this? Ni-Cad, Ni-MH, LI-ION?

This is a battery pack made up of several nickel cadmium (Ni-Cad) batteries. I am now on my third replacement battery pack for a B&D; dust buster that my wife likes so much she'd rather spend the bucks for a new battery rather than buy what's currently available. She uses it everyday and it stays in its charger whenever it isn't being used and each battery pack has lasted on average a couple of years before needing to be replaced.

I had called the merchant to find the answer myself! Was told it is STANDARD lithium ion battery but Amazon requires them to list the SAME battery under several different names with different prices! So you can easily pay MORE for exactly the SAME battery on Amazon! Confusing isn't it?!

It's a Lithium ion Battery No. CGR-H712 (7.2V 4200mAh Wh Li-ion Battery, Series 11) which is normally attached to the unit if bought brand new. If not, you can call Panasonic, the manufacturer if you have any questions at USA and Puerto Rico: 1-800-211-PANA(7262) or Canada at: 1-800-561-5505. Just provide them with the Model No. DVD-L-S86. Hope this helps.

This is Govex Commerve. WE see a misleading. It is not a Lithium battery. It's a NiMH batery.

The standard charger is designed for nickel cadium batteries, No problem , Lithium ion might have issues

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. This is a NiCad battery. NiCads are a thing of the past. The best thing that you can do is send your old battery module to a re-cell company and have them re-cell it with nickel metal hydride (NiMh) cells. The NiMh cells hold more energy, last longer and are not as subject to "outgassing" as NiCad cells. (This is probably why your module failed.) Texas Battery and Provisional Battery (in Atlanta) are two that I use. You can Google "battery module recell companies" to find one near you.This is cheaper and easier in the long run...and you get your ORIGINAL battery pack back so you know that it fits.Hope this helps.

This replacement battery is current technology, and NOW it is also OEM. 20 years ago NiCad (Nickel Cadmium) batteries were OEM, but not anymore. I think the reviewer did not give a "fluke" answer, he just referred to what WAS the "OEM" from many years ago.

It specifies Lithium rechargeable batteries. I am having trouble finding rechargeable batteries that are lithium...most are Ni-MH. Can these still be used? (Sorry for the ignorance...I have never used rechargeable batteries!)

If I were to guess I would say you put it back in the charger after each use. That destroys ni-cad batteries. If you cannot replace the batteries (and then only put them back in the charger when the unit is dead or almost dead) do so, otherwise, you have just been educated on what they call ni-cad memory and why you should get lithium batteries if possible. I have had mine for about six months and I have not yet needed to recharge it and I use it almost daily.

I also use SONY NI-MH batteries and I haven't experienced any problems. I think what they meant to emphasize was to use NiMH type of rechargeable batteries. Here is what Olympus recommends: Ni-MH Quick Charger and Battery Set (B-90SU) http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1393&fl=5 "What is the difference between Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NIMH) batteries? Both NiCad and NiMH batteries are rechargeable. The main difference between the two is the fact that NIMH batteries offer higher energy densities than NiCads. In other words, pound for pound, NIMH delivers approximately 30% more capacity than its NiCad counterpart. " Reference: http://www.batterymart.com/c-battery-facts-faqs.html#lith-alk

Wow, these comments just made me realize that this is a NiCad battery. Didn't think they made those anymore!

The battery should fit. It is not black and grey but red and grey. It is a ni-cad and not ni_mh.

Looks to be a propitiatory battery pack containing 3 AA sized Ni-MH cells rating 6.0V 700mAh. You could probably crack it open and add your own cells if your careful? Midland battery pack model: BATT-5R

I can't find the battery information on the waterpik. It only says made in China. I guess it is Ni-Mh. Usually Li-ION is expensive. Thanks.

The battery is a Li-ion battery, 3.7v, 1700mAh/6.29Wh. Even though it is branded as a D-link NP-120, other battery mfgs make this same battery. Just type in NP-120 battery in Amazon search. The NP-120 is used in many other electronic devices and seems to be available from many sources.

The charge I have for the Li-ion battery is a UC 18YGL and says Li-ion right on the charger. I have chargers for Hitachi Ni-Cd batteries UC 18YK and it won't charge the Lithium battery even though they both work in the tools.
