[amsat-bb] AO-40 power system

[Geoff <vk2tfg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,
    I am looking for some information on AO-40's power system. How many 
cells does (did?  :-(  ) the main battery have? What is their rating? 
Also the same information for the Aux battery? Voltage/capacity curve 
information?
    I finally got my 13cm downlink system working just before MA98 on 
orbit 1487. What a time to be getting telemetry for the first time!! I 
have sent in about 3 hours worth. I would like to look at the data in 
some detail hence the request for information. I had a look on the web 
(nothing specific to AO-40) and read through my copy of SMAD (says 22 or 
23 cells typical for nicads @ 28V).
