This book provides the reader with an in-depth view of nickel-hydrogen cell technology: how it was developed, how and why it works, how to implement it and realize its ultimate capability, and what can go wrong if it is not properly managed.
Historically, owing to stable electrode reactions and robust battery chemistry, aqueous nickel–hydrogen gas (Ni–H 2) batteries with outstanding durability and safety have been served in aerospace and satellite systems for over three decades ever since their first development in the 1970s.

A nickel–hydrogen battery (NiH 2 or Ni–H 2) is a rechargeable electrochemical power source based on nickel and hydrogen. It differs from a nickel–metal hydride (NiMH) battery by the use of hydrogen in gaseous form, stored in
Nickel-hydrogen batteries can run for tens of thousands of cycles, giving them a life of over 30 years. This fall, the company will finish construction of a 92,900-square-meter gigafactory in Kentucky that will start by making up to 5 gigawatt-hours'' worth of batteries annually.
This paper on nickel hydrogen batteries is an overview of the various nickel hydrogen battery design options, technical accomplishments, validation test results and trends. There is more than one nickel hydrogen battery design, each having its
Nickel–hydrogen batteries were developed to increase energy density and capacity in rechargeable battery technology for aerospace energy storage. The nickel–hydrogen cells are a hybrid technology, combining elements from both batteries and fuel cells.
