About this file
This document provides guidelines for replaceable batteries used in Department of Defense radio frequency identification active transponders. The guidelines specify that transponders must use a 3.6 volt, 3.4 amp-hour lithium "A" cell battery measuring 50.3 by 16.85 millimeters. The battery must meet safety standards and withstand tests for altitude, vibration, shock, and temperature. Transponders must have reverse polarity protection and allow non-responsive storage mode when batteries are inserted incorrectly.
The related federal contract opportunity is a solicitation from the Army Contracting Command-Rock Island for active radio frequency identification hardware, software, documentation, and technical engineering services. This acquisition, named "aRFID-V," is a follow-on to the incumbent contract held by Savi Technology, Inc. that expires in July 2020. The solicitation is issued non-competitively to Savi but all responsible sources may submit a capability statement or proposal for consideration.

DoD Transponder Battery Guidelines Version 5.0 15 June 2018
Summary
This document defines the replaceable battery that shall be used within all DoD RFID-V Compliant Active Transponders used in the Radio Frequency In-Transit Visibility (RF-ITV) system. This applies only to active transponders that use replaceable batteries as the primary power source.
Guidelines
DoD RFID-V Compliant Active Transponders shall use a replaceable battery as their primary power source. The battery shall meet or exceed the following specifications:
| · Format | untapped and sleeved “A” cell | ||||
| · Length | 50.3 +/- 0.2 millimeters | ||||
| · Diameter | 16.85 +/- 0.15 millimeters | ||||
| · Nominal Voltage | 3.6 volts | ||||
| · Nominal Capacity | 3.4 amp-hours | ||||
| · Maximum Continuous Current | 20 milliamps | ||||
| · Maximum Pulse Current | 60 milliamps | ||||
| · Operating Temperature | -40 to +70 degrees Celsius | ||||
| · Maximum Storage Temperature | +30 degrees Celsius | ||||
| · Weight | 25 grams |
The replaceable battery shall comply with the altitude simulation, free fall, vibration, and mechanical shock tests referenced by the following safety standards:
· Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
"Standard for Lithium Batteries" – UL 1642 – Third Edition – 1995
· Secretariat of the United Nations "Model Regulations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods" Ref. ST/SG/AC.10/1 – Revision 12 – 2001 + "Manual of Tests and Criteria" Ref ST/SG/AC.10/11 – Revision 3 – 1999, amended per ST/SG/AC.10/27 – Addendum 2 – Annex 4 – 2001
· International Electrotechnical Commission International safety standard for lithium batteries "IEC-CEI 86-4" – 1st Edition – 1996
Transponders using replaceable batteries shall have reverse polarity insertion protection. The transponder shall permit the battery or batteries to be inserted into the transponder in a reverse orientation to configure the transponder to be non-responsive to RF commands and provide battery storage.
If a transponder requires multiple batteries, the transponder shall clear indication of the operational orientation for each battery, and tolerate any other orientation of the batteries to configure the transponder to be non-response to RF commands and provide battery storage.
