Failure Mechanisms and Accelerated Life Tests of Nickel-Cadmium Batteries

Abstract

Preliminary experiments indicated valid tests were developed with temperature gradients and/or with rates of discharge as the primary variables for accelerated life testing of sealed nickel-cadmium batteries. Depth of discharge was indicated to have only a very small effect on the life of cadmium electrodes. New sealed cells having longer life without, significant loss of performance, were designed and constructed. Verification tests were recommended for them.
