Abstract

Excess electrolyte fluid from a nickel cadmium battery cell is removed by a method in which the battery cells are overcharged to generate oxygen pressure which acts to force the excess fluid out of the cells. After the required amount of fluid is removed from the battery, the generated oxygen may be replaced to ensure proper operation of the finished battery.
