SEALED NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERIES FOR AIRCRAFT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS,

Abstract

Adapting sealed batteries to aircraft electrical systems is feasible. The major problem to be solved is the development of a suitable charge conditioner to operate with the battery and the aircraft electrical system. The interchanging of vented-cell, nickel-cadmium aircraft batteries with sealed-cell, nickel-cadmium aircraft batteries is considered possible by mid-1968. The major advantages of sealed-cell aircraft batteries are improved flight safety, maintenance-free operation, and improved performance in terms of life and reliability. (Author)
