Small fuel cell to eliminate pressure caused by gassing in high energy density batteries

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6828323
;
The object of this program was the evaluation of miniature fuel cells in preventing the build up of high pressures in sealed silver-zinc batteries. The miniature cells perform the function by electrochemically consuming the gases that are generated within these batteries during operation and stand. In the process the miniature cells also deliver electrical warning or telemetering response indicating battery gassing. Evaluation of the miniature fuel cell in this application was continued during this quarter by conducting life tests in specially designed battery simulators.
