Abstract: The method of producing galvanic primary cells including introducing an overdosage of depolarizer mass into a prepressing form and compressing the mass to constant density, forming a pressed depolarizer element by pressing an overdosage of the depolarizer mass into a cell cup through a nozzle, separating the overdosage from the depolarizer element within the cell cup along a predetermined line and allowing the overdosage to remain within the nozzle, pushing the overdosage into the following cell cup as a mass plug and adding sufficient additional depolarizer mass to nozzle to provide an overdosage.

Abstract: A positive electrode for alkaline storage batteries contains as its active mass a ternary mixture of nickel hydroxide, cadmium hydroxide, and cobalt hydroxide.

Abstract: A storage battery plate has lead bars positioned within channels defined by a grid of plastic strips. These channels also contain the active mass. The channels are closed off by electrolyte permeable cover layers.

Abstract: A battery is charged using a heavy charging phase, followed by a pulse charging phase. During the latter, charging continues beyond a predetermined battery voltage, for a predetermined interval. During a measuring portion of the succeeding charging pause, the falling battery rest potential is measured and the pulse charging phase is terminated when the measured rest potential no longer falls below a predetermined level.
