Constant Current Discharge Tests of a 12 'D' Cell in Series Li/SO2 Battery Pack under Counter Arm Decoy Requirements.

Abstract

The results of discharging a candidate Li/SO2 Counter Army Decoy battery at 21 amperes are reported and discussed. The candidate battery consisted of 12 'D' size Duracell LO-26SH. None of the battery packs tested met the performance criteria of 28 volts + or - 2 for 5 minutes under a 21-ampere discharge. Three of the five batteries supplied were defective and could not be tested. One of these three had a defective cell and the other two had a high internal impedance. At voltage reversal, the two batteries that were tested reacted violently. One vented violently sending cells in all directions. The other also vented violently with torch-like flames. Capacities obtained under this test to a cut-off voltage of 2 volts were on the order of 2.80 and 3.03 amp hours.
