Development of Handling Frames and Shipping Containers for 250AH Lithium Thionyl Chloride Batteries.

Abstract

This report is to document the design and fabrication of six shipping containers assemblies for the 250AH Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries manufactured by the Martin-Marietta Corporation in France. The handling frame is a combination of aluminum and GE Lexan. The cushion system is polyethylene foam, and the outer container is a UN-certified steel drum. The container passed a field test (shipment of a unit through the supply system). The containers were fabricated wholly in-house at the Air Force Packaging Technology & Engineering Facility. jg p.25
