These were KOH batteries I believe. 6 volt and 200 amps each seems to
remain in my dehydrated noodle. Heavy for the amperage they produced
BUT you could put one whopper of a load on them without damaging them.
The electrodes don't plate out on them like a Pb-acid battery does as
the ion exchange is in the electrolyte itself. The only maintenance
they need is to ensure the water is topped off in them. I want to say
the concentration of the KOH was 6M ... my memory is fuzzy here. I'll
have to check on it. Got any of them you want to get rid of? ?:)
