Sealed Nickel-Cadmium Battery Assembly BB-655()/U (Engineering Evaluation).

摘要

The physical and electrical characteristics for a high energy density,sealed,nickel-cadmium battery assembly are presented. The BB-655()/U consists of twenty series connected,sealed nickel-cadmium 'F'cells restrained in a nest between two fiberglass circuit boards and potted with rigid epoxy potting. The cell nest is housed in a lightweight,rugged,acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene (ABS) standard, manpacked battery case. This battery has the capability of furnishing 7.0 Ah at 24volts or 14.0 Ah at 12volts,and weighs 12.5lbs. The battery assembly yields 13 watthours per pound and 0.7 watthours per cubic inch and meets severe electrical,environmental and mechanical tests. The environmental tests include vibration,bounce and four foot drop testing on all corners,faces and edges with a cover and with simulated equipment. This assembly is the first of the standard line ABS housed batteries required to meet these rugged environmental requirements. (Author)
