To improve operational tolerances and mass, the H2 gas-recombination design provisions of the Ni-H2 system have been incorporated into the sealed Ni-Cd system. A cell design produced is capable of operating on the 'H2 cycle' versus the normal 'O2 cycle'. Three test cells have now completed approximately 4300 low earth orbit (90 min) cycles at 20% depth of discharge. Performance remains stable although one cell exhibited a temporary pressure anomaly.
