The bipolar nickel-hydrogen battery is a strong candidate for high-power space energy storage applications such as the Space Station and is now the subject of a NASA-sponsored development program. The baseline battery design established by Ford Aerospace for this program is configured to meet the fundamental design requirements for bipolar metal-gas batteries, in particular cell-to-cell thermal uniformity, materials management and cooling system reliability. Key elements of the battery are discussed, including the long, narrow rectangular cell design which permits a simple cooling configuration, elimination of cell-to-cell temperature gradients, sizing flexibility and a specific energy of nearly 39 Wh/kg.
