Test and Evaluation of MK 15 UBA Battery Duration and a MK 15 UBA Oxygen Addition Solenoid

Abstract

The Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) in conjunction with the Naval Coastal Systems Center (NCSC) conducted an evaluation of MK 15 MOD O UBA battery duration. Battery duration curves in various temperatures were developed, as was a new procedure for conducting predive curves in various temperatures were developed, as was a new procedure for conducting predive testing of the MK 15 UBA battery with a load tester. A new MK 15 UBA battery assembled by Seatronics, Inc. was also evaluated, and found to provide improved duration over the currently used battery by a minimum of 10%. A new oxygen addition solenoid for use in the MK 15 UBA was evaluated and found to be a suitable spare part replacement item for the current solenoid. Keywords: Milliamps, Electric batteries, Manganese alkaline battery, Oxygen consumption, Oxygen addition solenoid, Thermal response, Volts, Watts.
