Hello All:
I'm new, and this is my first post. I hope I am in the correct forum. If not, please let me know where to post.
I'm experimenting with NiFe batteries, and have constructed a small set.
I would like to build a larger bank, but the cost of nickel is prohibitive.
Can anyone here give me any information regarding the following:
1. Can nickel plated material be used instead of a nickel bar?
2, What other materials might be used for anodes/cathodes?
3. What other chemicals could be used for electrolyte?
Thanks for any answers, I'm not a chemist or scientist, so the simpler the answer, the better.
Thanks for any responses.
Regards,
Dave
