Secondary Battery Session Improved Aircraft Battery,

Abstract

At the 23rd Annual Power Sources Conference a proposed redesign of a standard 19-cell 22.8 volt nickel-cadmium aircraft battery (BB-433/A) rated at 30 Ah at the one hour rate was discussed. Battery BB-433/A has been widely assigned in Army aircraft and has been the subject of many failure reports from the field. Since that time, efforts have been spent on the development of the redesigned battery. Simulated aircraft service cycling tests and other electrical and environmental tests were performed on standard and redesigned batteries to determine the feasibility of the redesign concept.
