The name "Twicell" derives from that it can be used for approximately twice as long as our standard Cadnica
(Nickel-Cadmium) battery after one charging.
High Capacity, Quick Charging, Greater Reliability-
Twicell Provides Powerful Support for High-Tech Equipment.
SANYO named its high-performance nickel-metal hydride rechargeable batteries "Twicell", a name to suggest their outstanding
characteristics. Twicell batteries last twice as long as SANYOﾕs standard Cadnica [nickel-cadmium] batteries from a single charging cycle.
In 1990, SANYO began the mass-production of Twicell batteries. Now Twicell batteries are one of the keys for the downsizing and
advanced functions of high-tech equipment.
Twicell batteries use a positive electrode made of nickel oxide compound and a negative electrode made of a oxide absorbing alloy. These
sophisticated materials combine with SANYOﾕs proprietary technology to ensure unbeatably high performance and dependability. As a
result, Twicell batteries have been a top seller right from the start. And now an extended Twicell line accommodates a broader range of
applications.
A Powerful Range
Rapid Charging Capability
A broad range of nickel-metal hydride rechargeable
batteries is available, ranging from cylindrical to
rectangular (prismatic) types. Twicell SLIM rectangular
batteries are ideal for more compact, efficient
applications.
When a specifically designed charger is used, Twicell
batteries can be charged in only 1.2 hours＊. A charge
control module is also available.
＊Needs special charge control circuit.
High Capacity
High Reliability
SANYO's pursuit of higher capacity has increased
Twicell capacity up nearly twice as high as standard
Cadnica batteries, meaning Twicell batteries work much
longer. This performance makes Twicell an effective
power source for many kinds of high-tech equipment.
Twicell batteries can also withstand over 500charge /
Following the market launch of Twicell batteries in
October 1990, SANYO opened a new plant in
Tokushima, Japan, in April 1992. SANYO's advanced
manufacturing technology and strict quality control are
the secrets behind the outstanding reliability of Twicell.

■Principle of the Nickel-Metal Hydride
■Features of Twicell Batteries
Battery
Extended service life and superior economy
Despite discharge capacity that is virtually equal to that of
conventional dry cells, Sanyo Twicell batteries feature
minimal internal resistance and exhibit excellent discharge
characteristics under high-rate discharge current conditions.
With output power much higher than that of dry cells. Twicell
batteries can withstand over 500 repeated charge / discharge
cycles (conditions stimulated in IEC61951-2(Clause 4.4) , as
well as offering outstanding economy. In addition, even
though the batteries are stored for a long time, the original
capacity is almost recovered by repeated
The nickel-metal hydride battery makes electrochemical use
of the reversibility of the hydrogen absorption/release
reaction in the hydrogen absorbing alloy. The battery uses a
nickel oxide compound for the positive electrode, a hydrogen
absorbing alloy for the negative electrode, and an aqueous
alkaline solution for the electrolyte, which includes such
constituents as potassium hydroxide (KOH). During
charging, the electrolytic reaction of water causes the
hydrogen, which forms in atomic form on the surface of the
hydorgen absorbing alloy in the negative electrode, to
diffuse into and be absorbed by the alloy (charge reaction).
During discharge, the absorbed hydrogen reacts with
hydroxide ions at the surface of the hydrogen absorbing
alloy to once again become water (discharge reaction). In
other words, the active material of the negative electrode
reaction is hydrogen, and the hydrogen absorbing alloy acts
as a storage medium for the active material. Sanyo has
developed a hydrogen absorbing alloy, which absorbs a
large quantity of hydrogen at low pressure and which can
also release it. Sanyo employs this alloy in the Twicell.
charging/discharging, offering excellent storage
characteristics.
Wide-ranging lineup and interchangeability with
dry cells
Customized assembled batteries tailored to specific
equipment space requirements are also available.
Excellent high-rate discharge performance and
overcharge/overdischarge capability
Sanyo's original electrode manufacturing process and current
collectors minimize internal resistance, which in turn enables
high-rate discharging and guarantees stable discharge
voltage.
Improved reliability with wide operating
temperature and humidity ranges
