A dry powder roller pressing process, once developed for making both of the electrodes in low cost Ni‐Cd consumer batteries, has been utilized to make electrodes for Ni‐MH batteries. The process was evaluated by manually making a series of sub‐C type cells that were characterized with respect to specific capacity, cycle life, and self‐discharge. The performance was comparable in several respects with that of cells made by more complex Ni‐foam technologies.
