Abstract
We propose a model of the chemical impregnation of sintered plaques which makes it possible to compute the number of impregnation cycles needed to obtain the required active material loading. The active material loading influences both cell capacity and cycle life. The model also allows the determination of the required degree of sinter corrosion during the impregnation process, and the amount of nickel in the negative active material. This nickel content influences the voltage depression in the cell discharge curve.
