Silver-Zinc Battery Characteristic Report,

Abstract

This test program was undertaken to determine the effect on performance of the manually activated type silver-zinc battery as a result of partial charges, cell shorts, improper filling, contaminated electrolyte, extended wet (activated) stand time, etc., because there had been no previous testing of this nature on this type battery. Two versions of silver zinc batteries currently in use at General Dynamics Convair on the Atlas missile space launch programs were selected for use in the test program. They were the Yardney 61302 battery (GD-C Part Number 69-06309-1) consisting of 19 PM30 type cells and the Power Sources 200994 battery (GD-C Part Number 69-06308-1) consisting of 19 cells assembled into three monoblocks.
