Abstract :
The authors discuss the characteristics of a multimission Ni-H2 battery cell that has been produced and is successfully undergoing validation testing. The cell design has incorporated the optimal, space-flight-proven technology which has evolved from a 15-year, 10000-production-unit, 25,000,000-flight-cell hour database. Its standardized features should support missions through the 1990s with minimal need for design requalification and dedicated cycle life testing
