Abstract :
It is shown that FNC (fiber-structured) nickel-cadmium batteries can cope with extreme conditions much better than other secondary battery systems. FNC batteries are described in some detail, as are the cost benefits they provide in telecommunication applications. Their main features are: operating life in excess of 25 years, charge/discharge cycles in excess of 4000, improved performance at low or high temperatures, and greatly reduced size and weight
