DAUG (Deutsche Automobilgesellschaft m.b.H.), which is a subsidiary of Daimler Benz and Volkswagen has developed a fiber plaque technology used in the alkaline Nickel Cadmium battery system known as 'FNC' (Fiber Nickel Cadmium). DAUG-HOPPECKE (DAHO) is the manufacturing and marketing joint venture for the FNC technology. The plaque design been marked in vented cells by Hoppecke since 1983, with improved performance over prior plaque design. production of new sealed maintenance free batteries, using the same basic plaque mechanism, has been operating since 1991. Type 'H', high rate, and Type 'X', ultra high rate, plate design have been produced for electric and electric/hybrid vehicles since that time. Incorporating the same fiber plaque structure, the new design contains additional fibre plates used as a recombination device for rapid oxygen consumption. The design is called 'FNC - Recom'. The cell operates below ambient pressure, with very high charge efficiency, allowing very quick recharge at very high 'C' rates. Other recent advances extend the range of sealed Ni/Cd cells with low pressure up to more than 100 Ah.
