VENTED NICKEL-CADMIUM BATTERY ASSEMBLY BB-607()/U.
Abstract
The purpose of the contract was the design, development and testing of the nickel cadmium battery assembly BB-607()/U. This battery assembly is a military-ruggedized design consisting of two tiers of BB-616()/U batteries stacked one above the other in the man-pack configuration. The battery assembly is rated at 24 volts and 5.5 ampere-hours or 12 volts and 11 ampere-hours. Twenty-one battery assemblies were constructed and 16 were successfully tested to environmental and electrical testing. The environmental tests included vibration, bounce and 4 in. drop testing of all corners, faces and edges with cover and simulated equipment. In addition to these tests, 19 BB-616()/U batteries were subjected to a complete range of environmental and electrical tests. The report outlines the design and development program and fully documents the battery assembly design. Complete drawings to USAECOM format are included, as well as artist's visualization of the battery assembly.
