Abstract: Raising the charging acceptability of nickel battery.
The setting of the initial SOC (state of charge) of hybrid electric
vehicle battery to X% (for example 50%) is performed by two steps.
The first one is a constant current charge until a fully charged
state (S11, S12). Secondly, a discharging is performed until the
target SOC of X% is obtained (S13, S14). This enables the interior
part of the nickel positive electrode active particles to be assumed
as a charged state so that during normal operation, charging and
discharging can be performed relatively in the surface layer. This
can increase the efficiency of oxidation-reduction in the nickel
positive electrode, thereby raising the charging acceptability.

Abstract: A metal hose (10) comprises a metal tube (12) having an
annularly corrugated wall, a fitting body (14), an
extension (32) that projects from the fitting body, and
a sealing member (16). The fitting body (14) defines a
sealing seat (36) for the sealing member (16). The
extension projects from the body about the tube and
defines a corrugation positioner distal the fitting
body. The extension (32) is deformed to shift the
corrugation positioner (50) toward engagement with the
tube and resiliently compress the tube corrugations
between the positioner and the sealing member. The
resiliently compressed corrugations urge the sealing
member (16) against the seat for sealing the juncture
of the fitting and the tube. 
     In one embodiment a reinforcing shroud (102) surrounds
the tube and extends into the fitting. The fitting
secures the shroud in place. The corrugation positioner
(50) compresses the tube corrugations through the
shroud so the shroud is clamped and secured in place by
the positioner at a location spaced axially from its
end within the fitting.
