High Energy Density, Long Life Secondary Battery (Silver-Zinc) Assembly BB 634 ()/U.

Abstract

The purpose of the contract was the design, development, nd testing of the silver-zinc battery assembly BB 534 ()/U. This battery assembly is a military-ruggedized design consisting of four (4) BB 461 ()/U batteries stacked side by side in the man-pack configuration. The battery assembly is rated at 24 volts and 9.0 ampere bours or 12 volts and 18.0 ampere-hours. The design goals were successfully accomplished. The environmental tests included vibration, shock, drop tests, and high and low temperature, humidity, immersion, and altitude. In addition these batteries were subjected to a complete range of electrical tests. The final report outlines the design and development program and fully documents the battery assembly design. Complete engineering drawings are included in the final report as well as artist's visualization of the battery assembly. (Author)
