INVESTIGATIONS LEADING TO THE DESIGN OF A RELIABLE SEALED NICKEL-CADMIUM CELL.

Abstract

Studies of various cell components were made and evaluated. Charge retention studies are detailed and demonstrate the influence of temperature and time on the degradation of capacity in both positive and negative plates. Both types of plates illustrated the ability to retain a least 70% of original capacity after six months storage at +90 F. The effects of addition agents such as lithium and zinc are recorded, and definite influence in shown under fixed conditions of charge and discharge. (Author)
