Alkaline high power batteries in a bipolar stack design

For several applications, batteries with a high power/energy ratio are required. In order to meet these requirements, alkaline batteries based on fibre structures and hydrogen storage negative electrodes that are arranged in bipolar stacks, can be used. The bipolar stacks are designed to provide comparatively high voltages, e.g. 12, 36 and even 110 V. These stacks display electrochemical characteristics of a typical battery but are able to provide high power densities. This paper compiles data obtained from such storage units.
