INVESTIGATIONS LEADING TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE OPTIMUM METHOD(S) FOR CHARGING SEALED NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES.
Abstract
Experiment designs, test data, analysis and results for investigation of constant potential charging at 75, 125, -10 and -40 F for cells at initial states of charge of 0% and 66% are presented. Additional test data and analyses on constant current charging are also presented. The experiments include test variables of ambient cell temperature, charging period, charging potential, percent overcharge, initial state of charge, cell size and discharge rate depending upom the type of charging method employed. Cells of type BB 412()/U and BB 440()/U were used in this investigation. Analysis of the charging procedures are based upon the percent capacity obtained at test conditions to that obtained at standard conditions. (Author)
