Batteries in space

Nickel-Hydrogen batteries for Hubble[1] Batteries are used on spacecraft as a means of power storage. Primary batteries contain all their usable energy when assembled and can only be discharged.

Batteries generate electrical current from a chemical reaction. Batteries for space...
