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

Abstract

The investigative work carried forward in the last quarter as well as that of the entire contract is summarized. The purpose remained that of yielding an improved Ni-Cd cell. Four experiments were completed in this quarter: (a) Cycle Life Performance, (b) Self-Disch., (c) Chg. Accept., and (d) Overchg. Accept. Experiment A followed the factorial design for main effects (27 cells) as delineated in PR 5. They were analyzed by the Analysis of Variance and yielded these significant effects: neg. linear trend with increasing KOH conc.; type separator; type neg.; 80% LiOH as additive. Experiment B followed the factorial design for main effects (16 cells) as delineated in PR 7. They were analyzed by the 't' test and by the half-normal plot. Significant effects were given. (Author)
