New developments on high power alkaline batteries for industrial applications

Alkaline batteries have been in use for about 100 years. They display excellent life cycle characteristics and are extremely reliable in many industrial applications. This paper gives an overview of new developments at Hoppecke based on fibre structure electrodes in the fields of nickel/cadmium (Ni/Cd) and nickel/metal hydride (Ni/MH) batteries for industrial applications.
