Abstract
The internal resistance of a stabilized alpha-nickel hydroxide electro de is found to be lower than that of a beta-nickel hydroxide electrode as shown from studies of the open-circuit potential-time transients a t all states-of-charge. Nevertheless, the self-discharge rates of the former is higher. Gasometric studies reveal that the charging efficien cy of the alpha-nickel hydroxide electrode is higher than that of the beta-nickel hydroxide electrode.
