Abstract

A method for operating a metal-hydrogen battery includes monitoring an indicator of degeneration of the metal-hydrogen battery during normal cycles of discharge and charge; determining whether the energy efficiency of the metal-hydrogen battery during normal cycles of discharge and charge is decayed based on the indicator; and in response to determining that the metal-hydrogen battery during normal cycles of discharge and charge is decayed due to oxidation, regenerating the metal-hydrogen battery.
