Abstract :
LEO test data for 81 Ah fiber nickel-cadmium (FNC) battery packs are presented. Trends in pressure, charge acceptance, discharge voltage, capacity, and impedance during 7800, 60% DOD cycles are discussed. It is shown that the FNC is capable of high rate discharge and fast charge to high DOD with stable performance. The relationship between cell design and battery pack performance is also discussed
