Comparative results of the tests of the sealed nickel-cadmium batteries for capacity safety during long-term storage after charging with direct and asymmetric currents are represented. Charging with asymmetric current was carried out in an accelerated manner at average value of the charging current equal to 0.8Сrated. Charging with direct current was carried out at average value of the charging current equal to 0.1Сrated in accordance with Technical Conditions. Tests prove that batteries acceleratedly charged with asymmetric current are compliant with technical conditions concerning capacity safety during long-time storage. Tests also prove discharge capacity advantage of batteries charged with asymmetric current after long storage, in comparison with batteries charged with direct current.
