| Description | Telstar 401 was launched December 15, 1993. It has two 58 cell 50 AH Nickel Hydrogen batteries of the Comsat design. Reconditioning has traditionally been used as a means of maintaining the performance of normal cells and batteries. This paper describes a situation in which reconditioning was used to improve the performance of nickel-hydrogen batteries in Telstar 40. Reconditioning is carried out with relay selected resistors across the entire battery for rates of approximately C/50 and C/100. There are individual cell voltage monitors and the discharge is carried out until the first cell reaches 0.8 volts. |
