The electrolyte is a solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) in distilled water with an addition
of lithium hydroxide (LiOH). The standard electrolyte is designed for use in temperatures of
between
–25 °C and +45 °C. The lithium hydroxide in the electrolyte varies between the
different cell types (X, H, M, L). DIN IEC 993 is valid for the production of the electrolyte.
When the cells are in operation, the density of the standard electrolyte is 1.19 kg/l ± 0.01
kg/l at the reference temperature of 20 °C (electrolyte density can be higher on delivery).
Note
The electrolyte density is no indicator for the state of charge of nickel cadmium batteries.
For most FNC
®
products, HOPPECKE supplies on request a special electrolyte that allows
operation in low temperatures down to
–45° Celsius.
