Manufacture of Lithium Reserve Cells
Abstract
The manufacture of 1200 lithium reserve cells was accomplished within this contract. The cells manufactured conformed to Picatinny Arsenal P/N T9275567 with the exception that the case material was type 316L stainless steel and the electrolyte was of the formulation 2M LiAsF6 (U.S.S) + 0.4M LiBF4/MF. Two difficulties were encountered and corrected during the course of this program. The first, a failure of the anode electrode which was subsequently reconfigured to eliminate occurrence thereafter. The second more significant problem involved the integrity of the glass-to-metal seal in the terminal plate of the cell. Investigation found the seal was developing fine leaks as a result of thermal stresses encountered during the final weld sealing of the cell. The seal problem was corrected and cell deliveries resumed.
