Production and Engineering Methods for Carb-Tek (Trade Name) Batteries in Fork Lift Trucks.

Abstract

The purpose of this program is to establish the manufacturing techniques for production of improved fork lift truck batteries. This portion involves the manufacturing technology of the Carb-Tek molten salt Li/Cl system, constructing cells on a pilot line, optimizing process steps, establishing quality control procedures, and engineering appropriate changes. Cell Assembly is performed in a controlled argon atmosphere. Average capacity of pilot line design 6 cells was 8 AH with a maximum value of 10.6. Maximum value of cathodes as formed was 12.75 AH. A new economical, anode alloy preparation is reported. System maintenance problems were greatly reduced by improved leak detection.
