Primary Lithium Organic Electrolyte Battery BA - 5598 ( )/U.
Abstract
This report summarizes the program which was aimed at developing a Primary Lithium Organic Electrolyte Battery capable of operating over a temperature range of -40 F. to 125 F. A 15.0 volt battery was designed with hermetically sealed cells to withstand high temperature storage conditions and to operate simulated field equipment pulse loads. The cells are designed for energy densities up to 150 WH/LB at room temperatures at approximately 0.4A drains. The contract was modified to incorporate a new hermetically sealed cell to replace the original compression sealed cell. In addition to preventing leakage of SO2 during storage at 160 F., the cell design self venting mechanism enhanced the safety characteristics associated with Lithium Organic Primary Batteries. The battery nomenclature and configuration was modified in order to meet the Technical Requirements of the BA - 5598 ( )/U Battery, which was reduced in size and weight to as much as 50% as compared to the original BA - 584 ( )/U Battery.
