Title: Alkaline storage battery and zinc negative electrode therefor

Patent ·
OSTI ID:7358942

An alkaline-electrolyte storage battery having nickel and zinc active materials for the positive and negative electrodes is characterized by the use of perforated metal strip pockets for the negative electrodes containing a powdered zinc active material under pressure to hold the active material in situ and in close electrical contact with the metal strip. By preventing loss of active zinc material during cycling, a greatly extended cycle life is obtained at nearly the initial electrical capacity of the battery. (auth)
