United States Marine Corps (USMC) Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) Rechargeable Battery Trade-off Study

Abstract

Cost estimates for USMC SINCGARS usage of BB-5590/U Lithium Sulfur Dioxide (LiSO2) Batteries, BA-590/U Sealed Lead-Acid Batteries, and BB-490/U nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cad) Batteries. Estimates encompass battery costs, charger costs as applicable, and disposal costs. Annual battery-related costs were estimated for USMC usage of mix of LiSO2 and Ni-Cad batteries ranging from 100% use of LiSO2 batteries to 100% use of Ni-Cad batteries; and for mix of LiSO2 and Lead-Acid batteries over the same range. Estimated hourly battery-related costs are $2.66 per hour for LiSO2 batteries $0.34 for Ni-Cad batteries, and $0.30 for Lead-Acid batteries. Disposal related regulations and related documents are discussed and included in Appendices.
