DESIGN OF STANDARD LINE OF VENTED SILVER-ZINC BATTERIES.
Abstract
The Specification SCL-6870A represents versatile performance for silver-zinc secondary batteries. The design is deemed satisfactory for the varied requirements of this specification. Lot acceptance testing has been successfully completed for the vented series of secondary silver-zinc batteries as described by SCL-6870A. Forty (40) dry uncharged batteries of each capacity have been forwarded to the USAECOM as a result of this testing. This acceptance testing included capacity, -20F, high rate, environmental and charge retention tests for the BB-462( )/U, BB-463( )/U, BB-464( )/U and BB-465( )/U. It has been determined that the 160F, 7 day charge retention test is essentially a destructive test. After exposure to 160F for seven (7) days, the batteries met specification requirements but it was noted that the cells would short-out within ten (10) cycles. (Author)
