New Mechanically Rechargeable Zinc/Air Battery Design

Abstract

The report describes the design and development of mechanically rechargable zinc/air batteries for field communication systems. The blower-cover assembly described earlier was proof tested on the BA-525 (20 Ah) battery at an intermittent high rate regime. The details of the design are presented and performance data are discussed. A heater system was incorporated in a BA-525 Zinc/Air battery (20 cells, 20 Ah) prototype in order to improve cold temperature performance. The battery was evaluated on a high rate pulse regime using the blower-cover assembly.
