Emergency Arctic Battery

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0778198 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The report describes the development and testing of thermal type battery systems for the ANPRC-77 and ANPRC-74 radio sets. They were designed as emergency power sources for the radio systems when operating under adverse arctic weather conditions at temperatures as low as -65F where standard radio batteries are inadequate. Test results indicate that the batteries meet or exceed all important performance requirements under arctic weather conditions in Alaska.
