Production and Engineering Methods for CARB-TEK (Trademark) Batteries in Fork Lift Trucks.

Abstract

The Carb-Tek battery employs a porous carbon cathode, a lithium-aluminum alloy anode, a eutectic mixture of potassium chloride and lithium chloride as the electrolyte, and a tellurium tetrachloride additive. This report describes the reconstruction of the Sohio battery pilot line. A great deal of time was spent in cleaning and inspecting equipment and replacing all piping associated with the inert atmosphere system, the molten salt handling system, and the water cooling systems. Pictures showing the present state of the facilities are presented. It is estimated that the battery pilot line is 75% complete. An abbreviated outline of the work to be completed during the second half of the contract is presented. (Modified author abstract)
