Title: Aircraft battery state-of-charge and charge-control system. Final report, July 1984-June 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7051388

This Final Report describes work done by Energy Research Corporation (ERC) in developing an aircraft-battery state-of-charge indicator and charge-control system. The basis for this system, developed by ERC, is a nickel-oxygen (NiO/sub 2/) pilot cell (0.374 Ah). This pilot cell is cycled in tandem with nickel-cadmium battery. The oxygen pressure of the pilot cell is used to determine and control the state-of-charge of the nickel-cadmium battery. Nickel-cadmium batteries from different manufacturers were cycled using this pilot-cell charge indication and control system.
