APPLIED RESEARCH INVESTIGATION OF SEALED SILVER ZINC BATTERIES

Abstract

Cycle life data on cells containing varying ratios of ZnO to silver indicate that increasing the ratio of ZnO to silver tends to increase cycle life. Separator overhang life tests are continuing after 500 cycles without failure. Electrolyte quantity tests at this time are not conclusive in determining maximum cycle life. Additional work is to be done in this area. Cells containing Dynel wrapped negatives do not show consistent cycle life, and on this test, do not deliver as many cycles as the control cells. Additional samples of Dynel will be utilized in new test cells.
