Abstract:

All battery design approaches using duplex electrodes pile construction are described and design parameters compiled. The experimental work performed to verify the various cell and battery design has been outlined. Data and test results are analyzed. Design guidelines for a 1500 VOH, 750 watt- hour battery module are summarized. Extensive data on battery size and weight versus battery voltage have been compiled for batteries having outputs of 2 KW to 20 KW. formulae expressing the weight and volume of batteries as a function of nominal battery terminal voltage, watt-hour rating and percent regulation are presented for batteries utilizing conventional individual cells. The study phase of the DC-DC converter development program is in progress. A report which documents the effort expended by The Ordnance Division of Honeywell, Inc. during the preceding quarter is included in the Appendix of this report.
