TESTING AND EVALUATION OF PRIMARY ALKALINE CELLS AND BATTERIES.
Abstract
Testing and evaluating the performance of primary alkaline cells was completed. The cells are of the zinc-alkaline-mercuric oxide system-- the 1R, 12R, 42R, 502R, 625R, 640R, 650R, 1438R and 1450R cell-types. The reported areas of performance are: EMF over 36 months of 70F storage; initial-discharge service from 1/2 to 100-hour rates and at temperatures from -20 to 200F; and storage reliability and delayed-discharge service for storage temperatures of -20 to 160F and periods of storage up to 36 months. This for all cell-types. Also, 1000-hour rate delayed-discharge service for the 42R with storage from -20 to 160F and up to 36 months in length; and service after cyclic-temperature storage for 12R, 625R and 640R cells. Better performance was found in the 42R and 502R for EMF; the 502R and 650R for initial discharge at high temperatures; the 1438R and 1450R for initial discharge at low temperatures; the 42R, 502R, 640R and 650R for storage reliability; and the 42R, 502R, 1450R and 650R for retention of service hours with storage.
