Vented Nickel-Cadmium Battery Assembly, BB-651( )/U.

Abstract

The object of this contract was the design, development and testing of lightweight improved nickel-cadmium battery assembly BB-651( )/U. This battery assembly is a military-ruggedized design consisting of four monoblocks each containing five cells. A lightweight acrylonitrile butadiene styrene case was developed. The battery assembly is rated 24 volts and 5.5 ampere-hours or 12 volts and 11 ampere hours. This multiple voltage arrangement is possible as a result of the ECOM connector arrangement. The assembly was designed and tested. The environmental tests included vibration, bounce and a four foot drop on each corner, edge and face. Thirty batteries were shipped to USAECOM upon successful completion of the testing. This final report outlines the design and development program and fully documents the battery assembly design.
