Abstract:

The Naval Surface Warfare Center is evaluating industrys emerging lithium rechargeable battery technology for use in underwater vehicle applications. The battery industry typically characterizes cells for consumer applications requiring low rate cycling at room temperature and rarely provides high rate, low temperature data. High rate and low temperature performance of ATTs lithiumniobium triselenideLiNbSe3AA cells is reported here. At 25 deg C and 1O mAsq cm approximately the 3C rate, delivered energy densities were as high as 30 Whlb. However, these lithium cells proved vulnerable to performance loss in low temperature O deg C, high discharge rate cycling. Lithiumniobium triselenide, NbSe3, Lithium batteries, Rechargeable AA cells.
