1. A process for ultra-rapidly charging a sealed nickel-cadmium storage battery, wherein the charging process comprises:
- applying to the battery a charging voltage which is sufficient to complete the charging process in a time on the order of three to fifteen minutes but is lower than a voltage at which hydrogen is released in gaseous form, andterminating the charging voltage when charging current intensity registers a significant increase following a gradual decrease.

Abstract
A process for charging a sealed nickel-cadium storage battery in a time on the order of three to fifteen minutes. Charging is performed at a constant charging voltage which is lower than the voltage at which hydrogen is released at the negative electrode of the storage battery. Charging is terminated when the charging current intensity of the storage battery registers a significant increase following a gradual decrease during the charging process.
