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

HS v2022 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. As a key component in the power storage and distribution industry, nickel-cadmium batteries play a vital role in the broader economy, enabling the efficient operation of numerous devices and systems.

Production process

The production of nickel-cadmium batteries involves several key steps. First, the active materials, including nickel hydroxide and cadmium hydroxide, are prepared and combined. These materials are then pressed into thin plates or sheets, which are stacked with separators to form the battery cells. The cells are then sealed and connected to create the final battery pack. Automated assembly lines and specialized manufacturing equipment are often used to ensure consistent quality and high production volumes.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of nickel-cadmium batteries include the raw materials for the active components, such as nickel and cadmium, as well as the separator materials and other components like the battery casing. Additionally, specialized machinery and equipment, such as presses, welding tools, and testing equipment, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and cost of these inputs can significantly impact the overall production and pricing of nickel-cadmium batteries.

Production outputs

Nickel-cadmium batteries produced under HS code 850730 are primarily used in a wide range of applications, including portable electronics, power tools, emergency lighting, and industrial equipment. These batteries are often consumed by industries covered under other HS codes, such as 851440 Photographic flashlight apparatus and flashbulbs, 851660 Electro-thermic hair-dressing apparatus, and 850720 Lead-acid accumulators, among others.
