There was one series string of Nicads as can easily be discerned from this photograph:

You can notice the series string starts at the upper left and works its way right and then down to the lower string and back to the left.

Hi,
I guess that the satellite battery consisted of cells in series and batteries in parallel, or perhaps of cells in parallel then in series to make a battery. Does anybody know exactly? Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Hi Sil, ZL2CIA
Unfortunately Larry Kayser VA2LK the expert of the OSCAR-7 batteries passed away 5 october 2004
I believe that actually the right people to supply you with the informations about the batteries and BCR are Jan King W3GEY and Dick Daniels W4PUJ
However you can get many useful informations about the batteries of OSCAR-7 reading a lot of letters from Larry Kayser wich are available in the Amsat-BB Archives from june 2001
