Production and Engineering Methods for CARB - TEK (Trade Name) Batteries in Fork Lift Trucks.
Abstract
The prupose of this program is to develop the manufacturing technology of the Carb Tek molten salt Li/Cl battery to the prototype level. This purpose is being accomplished by actually constructing cells on a pilot line, optimizing process steps, establishing quality control procedures, and engineering appropriate changes. The majority of the cell work is performed in a controlled argon atmosphere. Results show that the carbon selected for the cell cathode can develop the required 5 Whr/cubic inch even when damaged by stress cracks. Anode contamination and fabrication problems have been reduced by a new alloying technique. Cell yields are dependent on weld quality.
