Batteries lose capacity, and their liquid components freeze, requiring a power-hungry cycle of using much of the power in batteries just to heat themselves. Fuel cells, rather than solar cells, provided power, because solar cells of the 1960s and 1970s had a prohibitively high weight-to-power ratio.
