Like I said in the above post, nickel hydrogen cells use an electrotlyte thats 69-74% water.

Actually that gives a PH of 12 ish- from this data sheet : http://www.nanotech.wisc.edu/CNT_LABS/MSDS/Bases/MSDS%20Potassium%20hydroxide.htm
Although i'm no chemist and may have misinterpereted.

Thats not far off the optimum growth PH of some alkiphiles (Ph 9 to 10), could that be a planetary protection issue?
