The paper briefly describes the Olympus satellite power subsystem with special attention to the battery configuration and discusses the in-orbit battery management facilities on board the spacecraft. Some initial testing is described in which some basic Nickel Hydrogen parameters were measured in order to check that the on-board facilities were sufficient to maintain the battery for a 10 year lifetime.
