A cycle life test of Ni/H2 cells containing electrolytes of various KOH concentrations and a sintered-type nickel electrode was carried out at 23 "C using a 45 min, accelerated, low earth orbit (LEO) cycle regime at 80% depth of discharge. One of three cells containing 26% KOH has achieved over 28 0

✦ Synopsis
To improve operational tolerances and mass, the Hz gas-recombination design provisions of the Ni-H, system have been incorporated into the sealed Ni-Cd system. A cell design produced is capable of operating on the "Hz cycle" uersus the normal "02 cycle". Three test cells have now completed approximately 4300 LEO (90 min) cycles at 20% DOD. Performance remains stable although one cell exhibited a temporary pressure anomaly.
