Abstract:

The Cell Test Program under Signal Corps Contract No. DA-36-039 SC-78320 has advanced through the fifth semi annual report period in the testing and evaluation of primary alkaline cells and batteries of the zinc-alkaline-mercuric oxide system. Initial discharge data for cell types 625R, 1438R and 1450R at temperatures from minus 20 to 200 F and at 70 F. rates of discharge of 100 hours and less was completed. Type 650R cell was introduced in the program and partial initial discharge data is given. Monthly EMF readings covering this period for all nine cell types are presented. Delayed discharge after storage at temperatures from -20 to 160 F. was continued on eight cell types. The 650R cell was introduced in the program late in the report period and no storage data was obtained. Author
