Nickel-cadmium battery for China's communications satellite
Abstract
This paper discusses the main problems of Ni-Cd cells, such as leakage at ceramic-metal seal, factors affecting the specific energy density, choice of separator and the cadmium electrode. On the basis of that mentioned above, the design of combined battery, the design of shelf battery, use of the carbon-fiber material and technology in charge controlling are discussed.
