Phase I

Contract Number: N/A
Start Date: 00/00/00    Completed: 00/00/00
Phase I year
1986
Phase I Amount
$49,500
The feasibility of a sealed aqueous electrolyte battery for missile warhead application is investigated. The problem of self-discharge is approached by storing the electrolyte separately and transferring to cells upon electric activation. High volumetric power density is achieved by thin spiral-wrap plates. Details of electrolyte confinement and transfer, and other features of construction are presented.

Phase II

Contract Number: F04704-88-C-0086
Start Date: 00/00/00    Completed: 00/00/00
Phase II year
1988
Phase II Amount
$504,206
The full development of a compact aqueous-electrolyte reserve battery is proposed. Electrical activation is accomplished by initiating a gas generator cartridge transfer to the electrolyte from a hermetically sealed reservoir to the cells. High volumetic power density is achieved using thin spiral wrapped plates. Battery operation significantly below 0 deg f is predicted.
