Abstract:

The report describes the design and development of mechanically rechargable zincair batteries for field communication systems. The blower-cover assembly described earlier was proof tested on the BA-525 20 Ah battery at an intermittent high rate regime. The details of the design are presented and performance data are discussed. A heater system was incorporated in a BA-525 ZincAir battery 20 cells, 20 Ah prototype in order to improve cold temperature performance. The battery was evaluated on a high rate pulse regime using the blower-cover assembly.
