Testing for the International Space Station nickel-hydrogen battery cell test program began in 1990 at Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center (NAVSURFWARCENDIV Crane). The purpose of the testing is to develop a statistically significant nickel-hydrogen database. The program has included acceptance testing, characterization testing, random vibration, life cycle testing and failure analysis of nickel-hydrogen battery cells. The program is directed by the Electrochemistry Branch at NASA Lewis Research Center. Over 400 nickel-hydrogen individual pressure vessel cells and one 22 cell single pressure vessel battery have been received for testing representing varying designs from four separate manufacturers; Yardney Technical Products (Yardney), Eagle-Picher Industries (EPI), Gates Energy Produces (Gates) and SAFT. This report is meant to provide an update of the results of the testing and the current status since the beginning of the program.
