Development of an Aircraft Battery Conditioner/Analyzer

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA005055 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The report documents the development and evaluation of a prototype Programmed Peak Charges PPC battery conditioneranalyzer system for nickel- cadmium batteries. It describes testing to determine the advantages of the unit as compared to constant-potential-charge systems. The results show that the PPC system reduces water boiloff, reduces overtemperature conditions, and has fewer battery recycles and cell replacements. Use of the PPC system increases battery life, reduces maintenance, and eliminates hazards.
