INVESTIGATIONS LEADING TO THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF MAGNESIUM/ MAGNESIUM PERCHLORATE BATTERIES

Abstract

The magnesium/magnesium perchlorate/mercuric oxide battery system exhibited good capacity and voltage tolerance for most of the discharge rates at +75F. Low temperature and high temperature studies of these batteries, conducted at the same discharge rates, demonstrated that this system operates at high efficiency over a temperature range of 40F to +125F. An activated stand of one week with less than 10% capacity loss can be expected from a mercuric oxide cell utilizing AZ 31.
