3. REQUIREMENTS

3.1 General. The lithium battery pack, defined by these requirements, shall be 12-volt (nominal) with a capacity of 96 ampere-hours at an average discharge current of 80 milli-amperes. (Figure 1). The battery will be expected to flash (at night) a signal load that consumes 300-400 ma (depending on color) with a

0.3 to 2.0 second pulse length and a 10% to 30% duty cycle. Coast Guard personnel will suspend the battery pack from a steel bulkhead (battery pocket cover plate) and compress it between the bulkhead and a bottom plate using a CG provided mounting kit. (Figure 2). When installed in an ice buoy, the battery will be housed in an airtight compartment subject to extreme shock, vibration, orientation and cold temperatures.

3.2 Design and construction.

3.2.1 Design, dimensions, and dimensional tolerances. All items shall conform to the design, dimensions, and tolerances described in this section and as shown in figures 1 and 2 of this specification.

3.3 Material safety data sheet (MSDS). A MSDS or chemical analysis certificate shall be submitted with each delivery order (destination) where the batteries are shipped. The chemical analysis certificate shall contain a list of materials used in the battery by weight, including the overall case and any precautions necessary should the materials come into contact with personnel.

3.4 Environmental. The batteries shall be designed and constructed to withstand operation in the following environment:

Ambient temperature -30 oC to 25 oC (storage – 25 oF to 140 oF)

Air pressure 3 PSIG (in air tight container)

Humidity 0 - 100% relative

Atmosphere Salt air

Shock & vibration Incidental to transportation to and operation on a buoy subject to severe ice flow motion

Off axis operation 72o from normal vertical operating position

3.5 Cells. Cells shall be Lithium Thionyl-Chloride primary cell technology. Other cell technologies may be proposed, if they meet the physical and performance requirements of this specification.

3.6 Battery pack. Lithium Thionyl-Chloride cells, mounting tubes, capacitors (if used) and associated reverse polarity and overload protection devices shall be packaged so that they fit and can be secured within the battery pocket, as described in paragraph 3.1. The cells and associated components shall be protected by using a molded case, heavy-duty heat shrink-wrap, or sleeving. When needed, rigid insulating material may be used at the top and bottom to prevent shorting with the steel upper bulkhead in the buoy and the lower plate or with the lower battery pack of an end-user installed two-pack configuration. Banding may be used around the pack to prevent movement of internal components during periods of severe vibration, heaving and rotation. The center access tube shall have a minimum inside diameter of 1 inch and the four mounting tubes shall have a minimum inside diameter of 0.5 inches. The center access tube and associated mounting tubes shall be longer than the cells so that when the cell pack is compressed, the clamping force will not be exerted on the cells.

4.4.5.2 Vibration, shock, impact test. All sample battery packs shall be selected for vibration, shock and impact testing.

4.4.5.2.1 Vibration test. Battery packs are firmly secured to the platform of the vibration machine without distorting the cells in such a manner as to faithfully transmit the vibration. The vibration shall be a sinusoidal waveform with a logarithmic sweep between 7 Hz and 200 Hz and back to 7 Hz traversed in 15 minutes. This cycle shall be repeated 12 times for a total of 3 hours for each of three mutually perpendicular mounting positions of the sample pack. One of the directions of vibration must be perpendicular to the terminal face. The logarithmic frequency sweep is as follows: from 7 Hz a peak acceleration of 1 Gn (Gn is the Newtonian constant of acceleration) is maintained until 18 Hz is reached.

The amplitude is then maintained at 0.8 mm (1.6 mm total excursion) and the frequency increased until a peak acceleration of 8 Gn occurs (approximately 50 Hz). A peak acceleration of 8 Gn is then maintained until the frequency is increased to 200 Hz.

4.4.5.2.1.1 Requirement. Battery packs meet this requirement if there is no mass loss, no leakage, no venting, no disassembly, no rupture and no fire and if the open circuit voltage of each test battery pack, after testing, is not less than 90% of its voltage immediately prior to this procedure.

4.4.5.2.2 Shock test. Test battery packs shall be secured to the testing machine by means of a rigid mount which will support all mounting surfaces of each test battery. Each battery pack shall be subjected to a half-sine shock of peak acceleration of 50 Gn and pulse duration of 11 milliseconds. Each battery pack shall be subjected to three shocks in the positive direction followed by three shocks in the negative direction of three mutually perpendicular mounting positions of the battery pack for a total of 18 shocks.

4.4.5.2.2.1 Requirement. Battery packs meet this requirement if there is no mass loss, no leakage, no venting, no disassembly, no rupture and no fire and if the open circuit voltage of each test cell or battery, after testing, is not less than 90% of its voltage immediately prior to this procedure.

4.4.5.2.3 Impact Test. Test battery packs shall be raised to a height of 12 + ¼ inches above a level unyielding surface. Drop the battery packs five times, once flat on its bottom and four times on different locations of the flat radial side.

4.4.5.2.3.1 Requirement. Battery packs meet this requirement if there is no mass loss, no leakage, no venting, no disassembly, no rupture and no fire from any individual cells. The shrink-wrap and banding must remain intact with no loosening of any individual cells. The original shape of each battery pack must be unchanged. The open circuit voltage of each battery pack, after testing, is not less than 90% of its voltage immediately prior to this procedure.

4.4.5.3 External short circuit test. One battery pack shall be temperature stabilized so that its external case temperature reaches 55 ± 2 °C and then the battery pack shall be subjected to a short circuit condition with a total external resistance of less than 0.1 ohm at 55 ± 2 °C. This short circuit condition is continued for at least one hour after the battery pack external case temperature has returned to 55 ± 2 °C. The battery pack must be observed for a further six hours for the test to be concluded.

4.4.5.3.1 Requirement. The battery pack meets this requirement if its external temperature does not exceed 170 °C and there is no disassembly, no rupture and no fire within six hours of this test.

4.4.5.4 Forced discharge test. One battery pack shall be forced discharged at ambient temperature at an initial current just below that of the threshold of the current-limiting circuitry. The discharge current is to be obtained by connecting a constant-current load of the appropriate size and rating in series with the test battery pack. The battery pack shall be forced discharged for a time interval (in hours) equal to its rated capacity divided by the initial test current (in amperes).

4.4.5.4.1 Requirement. The battery pack meets this requirement if there is no resultant disassembly and fire from the test. Note: Current limiting circuitry employed with this type of battery pack prevents overheating. Due to employment of this circuitry, complete discharge of the battery pack will require approximately seventeen days. Therefore, Forced Discharge testing of the CG Lithium Thionyl-Chloride Ice Buoy Battery Pack shall either be completed or nearly completed prior to commencing the remaining Government-witnessed First Article Tests. The U.S. Government will accept documented "Forced Discharge Test" data from the contractor, in lieu of witnessing the duration of this First Article Test.

4.4.6 Rejection criteria. The first article inspection results will be reviewed by the Contracting Officer, to determine compliance with the requirements of this specification. Failure of any of the tests or inspections described herein will be cause for rejection of the first article. If the first article is rejected, the Contractor will be notified in writing by the Contracting Officer and allowed fourteen (14) calendar days to fix or resubmit a new first article. Repair or replacement of the first article shall be by the Contractor at the Contractor's expense.
