Electrolyte distribution study in sealed nickel cadmium cells

The purpose of the study was threefold: to find an alternative method of estimating and extracting the electrolyte content in a cell; to understand how the electrolyte is distributed in the cell components (the positives and the negatives and in the separator material); and to discover whether the electrolyte is associated mostly with the positives and negatives or the separator. In each that cell the negative was associated with the greatest proportion of electrolyte, followed by the positive, and the separator.
