Abstract

Testing at Crane Division Naval Surface Warfare Center on the new advanced Ni-Cd secondary cell designs showed that the standard V/T curves might not be applicable to all designs. Adjusting in 20 millivolt increments would sometimes result in either an under or over charged condition. To verify this potential problem, a program was establish to revisit V/Ts. The task was to define the maximum and minimum voltage window settings for each design and to establish a general rule for adjusting the C/D ratio. These curves were then used for the life cycling of the NASA Aerospace Ni-Cd Verification Test Program
