The Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS) is one of the more recently launched satellites of the Goddard Space Flight Center. The flight data of the two 50 Ah NASA standard batteries that are being flown on the ERBS are presented. Trend characteristics of the batteries were collected over a period of two years. The parameters that were trended are: the battery end-of-discharge voltage, time in peak power track, and time in constant current mode. All were plotted versus mission elapsed time. The slopes exhibited by the trended parameters indicate no adverse trends that would signify any appreciable degradation in the batteries.
