CHARACTERISTICS OF HERMETICALLY SEALED NICKEL CADMIUM BATTERIES.

Abstract

The report summarizes basic thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and internal energy losses of satellite nickel cadmium batteries presently in use by APL. Dependence of electrical parameters (i.e., capacity, voltage, and current) on temperature and loads is reviewed from a user's point of view and generally reflects APL's experience in this area. Recommendations and guide lines are included for use in the design of a battery geared to operate for over two years in orbit. (Author)
