I put my preliminary battery making book on line recently. It's not a
finished work. The nickel-manganese "moderately alkaline" cells
charge up to about 2.6 volts. (Take that, lead-acid!) It took quite
some doing including two trace additives to find a way to get
manganese negative electrodes to hold their charge, but Mn makes a
better negative electrode than most anything else.

Since it's not a finished book or even a completed draft, it links to
some of my newsletters with the battery development articles.
Cheers,
