Electrolytes, cadmium calcium

A remedy could be achieved by a decrease in the zinc solubility in the electrolyte or by suppression of dendrite formation oxides of cadmium, lead, or bismuth, as well as calcium hydroxide or aluminum hydroxide, have been added to the zinc electrode or the electrolyte for this purpose, but not with long-lasting effectiveness. 

Calcium-lead alloy batteries, because of the gelled electrolyte, are insensitive lo orientation, as are scaled nickel-cadmium cells. They can therefore be stored, charged or discharged in any position, even upside-down. This characteristic has obvious advantages in cyclic or float applications such...
