A Amashanyarazi ya NiCd mubisanzwe bigizwe na selile nyinshi ya NiCd ihujwe murukurikirane cyangwa ibangikanye kugirango igere kuri voltage nubushobozi byifuzwa. Ipaki ya batiri isanzwe ikoreshwa mubikoresho bya elegitoroniki bigendanwa, ibikoresho byamashanyarazi, itara ryihutirwa, nibindi bikorwa bisaba isoko yizewe kandi yaka umuriro.
Bateri ya NiCd izwiho kuba ifite ingufu nyinshi ugereranije, ibemerera kubika amashanyarazi menshi. Bashoboye kandi gutanga amashanyarazi maremare, bigatuma akoreshwa mubisabwa bisaba gusohoka vuba. Byongeye kandi, bateri za NiCd zifite ubuzima burebure, bivuze ko zishobora kwishyurwa no gukoreshwa inshuro nyinshi.
