Electric accumulators; nickel-cadmium, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)

HS v2017 Code: 850730

About electric accumulators; nickel-cadmium, including separators, whether or not rectangular (including square)

hs code 850730 covers the import and export of electric accumulators, specifically nickel-cadmium batteries. These rechargeable batteries are widely used in a variety of applications, from portable electronics to industrial equipment, due to their reliable performance and long lifespan. As a key component in the global electronics supply chain, the trade of nickel-cadmium batteries plays a significant role in supporting the broader technology and manufacturing sectors.

Production process

The production of nickel-cadmium batteries involves several key steps. First, the positive and negative electrodes are manufactured, typically using nickel and cadmium as the active materials. These electrodes are then separated by an insulating material, known as the separator. The assembled cell is then sealed within a battery casing, which may be rectangular or square in shape. Finally, the battery is charged and tested to ensure proper functionality before being packaged for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nickel-cadmium batteries include the raw materials of nickel and cadmium, as well as the separator material and battery casings. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as electrode production machinery and cell assembly lines, are also essential inputs for this industry. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of operating the production equipment and ensuring quality control throughout the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 850730 is the nickel-cadmium battery itself. These batteries are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 851762 Machines and apparatus for electroplating, electrolysis or electrophoresis, 851770 Parts of electrical machinery and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this Chapter, and 851780 Electrical machines and apparatus, having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in this Chapter.
