Shelf and cycle life evaluation of silver--zinc cells. [Various separators]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7295704
Sterilized and control silver--zinc cells with various separator systems were given extended shelf and cycle life tests. Only cells with a separator system of methacrylic acid graft on cross-linked polyethylene were not sterilized. The data showed that the open-circuit voltage cannot be used to predict the capacity of a silver--zinc cell; but, if the open-circuit voltage of a cell drops below 1.58 V, the cell is shorted and cannot be rejuvenated.
