SHELF LIFE OF 90-VOLT BATTERY FOR SEADROME LIGHT

Abstract

A study was made of the effect of shelf life on the performance of two 90-v dry cell batteries. Four Burgess type 3M60 batteries stored for 14 months and 4 Eveready type X-511 batteries stored for 9 months were tested in comparison with 4 Eveready type X-511 batteries which were within 2 weeks of their manufacture. Using the standard Coast Guard seadrome light as a test load, operating time and ampere-hour capacity tests indicated that storage under conditions prevalentAT THE Coast Guard Supply Center had no effect on battery performance for the storage periods indicated.
