Changes in capacity, plateau voltage and internal resistance during the act
ivation process of Ni-MH batteries were investigated. The result shows that
the amount of electrolyte, the temperature, aging time and the charge-disc
harge regime are the main factors affecting the activation of Ni-MH batteri
es. A method for activating Ni-MH batteries is suggested. (C) 1999 Elsevier
