Nickel-cadmium usually refers to the metals used in fabricating a
family of secondary cells used in redchargeable batteries, while
cadmium, by itself, was once used to plate mechanical fasteners. It
has dropped out of favor and its use may now be prohibited for that
purpose due to its toxicity and effect on the environment.
