Batteries designed for the defense satellite communications system were modified to meet increased power requirements. A stainless steel case for the cell, approximately 4 inches wide, 4 1/2 inches high and 1 inch thick, with a weld down a narrow edge, has 12 mil 304-L stainless steel side walls and a 19 mil 304-L stainless bottom. A dip-brazed 60-61 aluminum retainer is electrically separated from the steel case by 15 mils of potting compound. The thickness of the compound varies from 10 to 20 mils, except at the bottom, where it is 20 to 30 mils thick. Pressure test results are discussed.
