Abstract
A sealed prismatic metal hydride battery greater than 10 Ah in size comprising a battery case of high thermal conductivity; and at least one bundle of metal hydride electrodes of high thermal conductivity in thermal contact with said battery case. Batteries according to the invention prevent the accumulation of heat that can damage nickel metal hydride batteries particularly during overcharge.
