Operational Test and Evaluation Silver-Zinc Battery Cell Replacement

Abstract

This test determined that individual cells could be replaced in the silver-zinc battery by field level maintenance activities. Analysis indicates that it is practical to replace cells in batter ies having up to fifteen months service. Under test conditions, battery life was extended an average of 5.24 months by individual cell re placement. Maintenance techniques were developed during the test that will aid in increasing the service life of this battery. Improper use and handling was a large contributing factor to bat tery failure. An aggressive training program should be conducted for aircrew and maintenance personnel to reduce failures due to personnel error.
