The Exposed Pallet 7 was removed by the Canadarm2 and transferred to the Mobile Base System. An EVA was planned to install the new lithium-ion batteries on ISS, but due to the failure of Soyuz MS-10, the EVA was not performed and the pallet remained on ISS after HTV-7 was released with an empty cargo. The pallet was eventually moved temporarily to the Japanese Exposed Facility.
 
Kounotori HTV-8 was launched on Sep 24, 2019 carrying 6 new lithium-ion batteries to the ISS. These batteries will upgrade the P6 truss power channels from their original nickel hydrogen batteries.
Launch Site: Tanegashima, Japan
Launch Vehicle: HII-B rocket
The Exposed pallet from HTV-8 was extracted by Canadarm 2 and attached to the MBS/POA.
Departure: The Exposed pallet 7 with old batteries that has been held by the Japanese Remote Arm was handed over to the Canadarm 2 in order to be placed in the Unpressurized Logistics carrier of HTV-8 to be discarded during re-entry.
 
Kounotori HTV-9 was launched on May 20, 2020 carrying 6 new lithium-ion batteries to the ISS. These batteries will upgrade the S6 truss power channels from their original nickel hydrogen batteries.
Launch Site: Tanegashima, Japan
Launch Vehicle: HII-B rocket (last flight)
The Exposed pallet from HTV-9 was extracted by Canadarm 2 and attached to the MBS/POA.
Departure:  On Aug 18, 2020 the old Exposed pallet 8 with old batteries was placed back in the unpressurized compartment of HTV-9 for disposal during re-entry. The HTV-9 pallet with old batteries was jettisoned from the station by the Canadarm2 into space on March 11, 2021.
