REMEMBERING THE BATTERIES An exhibition by the Redditch History Society

The Redditch History Society celebrates the history of nickel-cadmium battery manufacturing in Redditch from 1918 to 1993.

The exhibition includes a timeline of the companies involved, illustrated guides to the manufacturing processes, the important contribution to the war effort in World War 2, videos, documents, photographs and artefacts.

The exhibition also demonstrates how two companies merged to become Alcad, the second largest battery manufacturer in the world for nickel-cadmium industrial batteries.
