DESIGN IMPROVEMENT OF BB 501()/U BATTERY ASSY.

Abstract

The objective of this design improvement contract was to perfect a 20-cell, 24 volt, 14 A. H. nickel-cadmium storage battery more rugged, economical, and maintainable, as well as lighter, than the original BB501()/U. This was accomplished by combining existing design features with ones incorporated in the BB610()/U. The production requirement for sixty-five batteries on an unqualified basis was completed. In addition, four improved units were qualified in accordance with two required environmental tests: the four-foot random drop test, and the three-foot water immersion test. For the results of these tests, Sonotone test-data sheets are given. Included in this report are the official indented BB501()/U parts list and a full set of manufacturing drawings. In addition, there are illustrations showing design improvements to the battery as described in the text. (Author)
