Advanced Battery System for Aircraft

Abstract

The deliverable systems are designed to have maintenance free operation for 3 years or 1000 flight hours. The goal of achieving a sealed NiCad battery and a microprocessor controlled charger was also met. Although the contract scheduling required ELDEC and EPI to perform much of the battery and charger development in parallel, at program end an integrated and reliable system was delivered. Trade-offs were performed during the development of the hardware. In the case of the Advanced Battery System a listing of lessons learned or recommendations is presented.
