The physical and electrical characteristics for a high energy density zinc-silver oxide battery and battery assembly are presented. The BB-534()/U consists of four (4) vented zinc-silver oxide BB-461()/U monobloc batteries housed in a lightweight, rugged, standard manpacked case. The storage life of this battery is extended by shipping in the dry unactivated state. Electrolyte is supplied in sealed plastic containers. Before use the battery is filled and charged. This battery has the capability of furnishing either 9.0 Ah at 24 volts, or 18.0 Ah at 12 volts and meets severe electrical, environmental and mechanical requirements. Further, this battery assembly provides the greatest available energy per unit weight and volume of any battery assembly in the standard family of alkaline batteries. (Author).

A research and development program has been carried out with the objective of providing an hermetically sealed silver oxide-zinc battery for use in satellite applications. The following basic problem areas were studied: (1) silver migration in the cell; (2) battery voltage regulation; (3) zinc particle size and displacement during cycling; (4) gas evolution; and (5) terminal sealing. Sealed cells were designed, constructed, and tested electrically and environmentally. Eighty-nine cells were cycled to failure. Batteries were designed, constructed and life cycle tested. Twelve batteries were cycled to failure; one additional battery was tested environmentally. (Author).

This report describes the design development, manufacture and evaluation testing of a Zinc-Silver Oxide reserve battery in accordance with 'Technical Guidelines for Water Activated Zinc-Silver Oxide Battery'. This includes a description of the design effort, the design, the test program, the test equipment and the test results. The evaluation test showed compliance with the requirements of the technical guidelines.

Dell, formerly with the British Atomic Energy Research Establishment, and Rand, with the CSIRO in Australia, commemorate the bicentenary of Alassandro Volta's invention of the first battery. They write primarily for engineers and technicians who are responsible for specifying, procuring, or maintaining batteries, but keep the electrochemistry as simple as possible for the benefit of non- chemists. c.

A long life, high energy density, zinc-silver oxide battery, capable of high power output, was developed to meet the demand for a lightweight high power source for use with Radar Set AN/PPS-5. Batteries capable of one year activated shelf stand and one one-hundred (plus) life cycles are now attainable. These batteries are shipped in the unactivated state and are supplied with premeasured amounts of electrolyte in sealed plastic containers. Before use, they are filled and charged. The BB-622/A was improved in two generations and the improved battery evaluated over a range of conditions to establish capacity, cycle life and environmental qualities. This evaluation was conducted by simulating the Radar Set AN/PPS-5 requirements. Comparative test data of the original battery and the improved BB-622/A show a threefold increase in cycle life at room temperature and a twofold gain at 113F for the improved battery. The present BB-622B/U in a monoblock structure results in a battery of approximately thirty percent greater capacity in the same volume. Cost data on a per cycle basis and watthour basis are presented for the commercial product and the improved BB-622B/U. (Author).

Simulation of Battery Systems: Fundamentals and Applications covers both the fundamental and technical aspects of battery systems. It is a solid reference on the simulation of battery dynamics based on fundamental governing equations of porous electrodes. Sections cover the fundamentals of electrochemistry and how to obtain electrochemical governing equations for porous electrodes, the governing equations and physical characteristics of lead-acid batteries, the physical characteristics of zinc-silver oxide batteries, experimental tests and parameters necessary for simulation and validation of battery dynamics, and an environmental impact and techno-economic assessment of battery systems for different applications, such as electric vehicles and battery energy storage. The book contains introductory information, with most chapters requiring a solid background in engineering or applied science.
