Battery materials and manufacturing methods were analyzed with the aim of developing uniform and predictable battery plates for nickel--cadmium aerospace cells. A study is presented for the high-temperature electrochemical impregnation process for the the preparation of nickel--cadmium battery plates. This comparative study was set up as a factorially designed experiment to examine both manufacturing and operational variables and any interaction that might exist between them. The manufacturing variables in the factorial design included plaque preparation method, plaque porosity and thickness, impregnation method, and loading. The operational variables were type of duty cycle, charge and discharge rate, extent of overcharge, and depth of discharge.
