Low Cost Water Activated Reserve Battery.
Abstract
This technical report describes a development program to design and build a low cost, water activated battery. Organic oxidants theoretically attractive for use as cathode materials with magnesium anodes were evaluated and compared with presently used seawater battery systems. Increasing use of seawater activated batteries for surveillance buoys has given strong incentive to replacement of the conventionally used silver chloride cathodes with low cost non-strategic materials. The goal is the ultimate use of such a battery as a replacement in the SSQ-53 sonobuoy.
