DEVELOPMENT OF A LIGHTWEIGHT, WATER-ACTIVATED BATTERY FOR A SUPERHET RADIOSONIDE
Abstract
A program was set up to develop a lighweight, water-activated battery for a Superhet radiosonde. Experience obtained from the fulfillment of production contracts of similar battery packs was utilized to arrive at a battery having the required capacity, and possessing a reliable construction at a reasonable cost. The final design was a battery pack 2-1/2 in. in height, 6-7/16 in. long and 4-11/16 in. wide weighing approximately 560 g dry and 875 g activated. Average capacities are 188 min at moderate temperature, 207 min at low and high-low temperature tests. (Author)
