International Space Station Lithium-Ion Battery
The International Space Station (ISS) Electric Power System (EPS) currently uses Nickel-Hydrogen (Ni-H2) batteries to store electrical energy. The batteries are charged during insolation and discharged

Space Station Power
When the station is in the sunlight, the station stores 60% of its energy in its batteries. The energy that the solar arrays generate is stored in 24 batteries that each house 38 lightweight Nickel Hydrogen cells.
Electrical system of the International Space Station
DC-to-DC converter units supply the secondary power system at a constant 124.5 volts DC, allowing the primary bus voltage to track the peak power point of the solar arrays.

OverviewPower management and distributionSolar array wingBatteriesStation to shuttle power transfer system
The power management and distribution subsystem operates at a primary bus voltage set to Vmp, the peak power point of the solar arrays. As of 30 December 2005, Vmp was 160 volts DC. It can change over time as the arrays degrade from ionizing radiation. Microprocessor-controlled switches control the distribution of primary power throughout the station.
