DESIGN, FABRICATION AND TESTING OF VENTED, RECHARGEABLE SILVER-CADMIUM CELLS.
Abstract
The items investigated were positive plate capacity at various silver loading levels, negative plate capacity, and dimensional stability of various separator materials under load and under no-load conditions. Based on the results of these tests, prototype cells were built and tested. These cells met the capacity requirements. A restraining load in excess of the specified limit of 20 psi and in the order of 50 to 60 psi was required to meet dimensional requirements. Tests were also run on prototype cells to determine their cycling characteristics, charge retention at 77 F and 160 F, overcharge capability, and low temperature capacity. Further work is required in the area of charge retention. The investigation was also concerned with testing of prototype cells, as well as with fabrication of separators and plates for cell assembly.
