Multikilowatt hydrogen-nickel oxide battery system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5949634

A new development program has resulted from a favorable assessment of the technology potential of the H/sub 2/-NiO battery for terrestrial applications. This program uses a multicell design approach that differs significantly from the aerospace individual pressure vessel design. A number of experimental 100-Ah cells were built to evaluate the new design concepts and components, and results from these experimental cells provided the input needed for a multicell battery design. Several experimental 100-Ah cells and one 6-cell battery were delivered to Sandia National Laboratories for life testing.
