Large Size Sealed Nickel-Cadmium Cells

Abstract

A 100 AH hermetically sealed nickel-cadmium cell has been developed. The problem of heat dissipation, which adversely affects cycle life, has been solved by preventing overcharge. This was accomplished using the recently developed Adhydrode concept. Other advantages of the Adhydrodes are rapid recharge, high recharge efficiency, and operation at low internal pressures. Some characteristics of the Adhydrode signal are given.
