Calcium Inorganic Electrolyte Battery Development.

Abstract

The objectives of this program are based on the desire to develop a calcium/oxyhalide system comparable to the lithium/oxyhalide system with respect to energy density and rate capabilities, while overcoming the problems of voltage delay and safety hazards. This project is directed toward assessing basic performance, safety, storage, and voltage delay of the calcium/oxyhalide system for use in Air Force applications. Early small cell development is designed for use in life support, rescue equipment, and spacecraft power, while Phase II development of large cells up to 10,000 Ampere hours is anticipated for use in missile standby and emergency ground power systems. Specific factors of concern in these applications are low volume, performance over a temperature range -40 F to 165 F, safety, and long shelf life. (Author)
