The invention relates to a method for producing spherical nickel hydroxide by anodically dissolving a nickel electrode and by precipitating nickel hydroxide in a completely and thoroughly mixed electrolysis cell. An electrolysis brine with a content of 20 to 50 g/l chloride ions and 1 to 7 g/l ammonia with a pH-value of 9.5 to 11.5 and a temperature of 45 to 60 DEG C is used.
