This report supplements Test Report T63-6-1, dated 22 January 1963. Certain silver zinc (AgO-Zn) and nickel cadmium (Ni-Cd) cells recommended in that report are experimentally examined for suitability to the battery requirements of Rangefinder XM2 3 (LASER). Figures are given for expected number of rangings jβ(ω)s, battery capacity, energy, and specific energy densities as a function of temperature and discharge rate. Battery behavior at temperatures from -40° F to 125° F is examined, and a discussion of charging methods is also included.
