RESEARCH ON AMMONIA BATTERY SYSTEM.
Abstract
Additional tests using the reduced cell width showed the design is functional. Additional ef fort to obtain information as to slow activation time of the -65 F batteries was carried out using single cells and batteries. Correlation of im pedance decrease and voltage rise indicate the problem is either a gas layer or wetting. Inter cell leakage is present but is not considered a major cause of slow activation. Initial trial of increasing the energy per unit weiht and volume by adding additional cells has resulted in overheating at about 45% capacity, as compared to 73% initially. Best energy delivery was 4.5 w-h/lb. (Author)
