Vented sintered-plate nickel-cadmium cells, in the discharged state, consist of flat positive nickel hydroxide and negative cadmium hydroxide plates, separated by materials that act as a gas barrier and electrical separator. The electrolyte, normally a 31% potassium hydroxide solution completely covers the plates and separators for this reason vented cells are referred to as flooded cells. ... [Pg.776]

Typical average values for the energy and power densities of the vented sintered-plate nickel-cadmium battery at 25°C are shown in Table 27.2. [Pg.786]

The service life (discharge time) of the vented sintered-plate nickel-cadmium cell, normalized to unit weight (kilogram) and size (liter) at various discharge rates at 25°C, is approximated in Figs. 27.12 and 27.13. [Pg.787]

A listing of several typical vented sintered-plate nickel-cadmium cells is given in Table 27.3. The 14-, 22-, and 36-Ah sizes are those typically employed in aircraft batteries. Other cells are available in sizes up to about 350 Ah. The larger cells are generally constructed in steel containers rather than the plastic containers now used for the aircraft-size cells.
