Tactical Vehicle Battery – Replacement (TVB-R) (Navy)
Abstract
A successful project will provide the United States Marine Corps (USMC) with a higher energy density, comparable power capability, and greater deep-discharge cycle life compared to the current 6T lead acid battery. A two-year project under sponsorship of the DAC and Marine Corps Systems Command Program Manager Expeditionary Power System. Projected completion of all testing events is FY 2011. The primary outputs and efficiencies are as follows: (1) drop in replacement for lead acid batteries; (2) Increase energy density ranging from three to five times over lead acid; (3) ten times more deep discharge cycles than lead acid; and (4) avoids RDT&E cost of $10.000 - $20.000 million with a Return on Investment (ROI) of 82:1.
