This paper provides an overview of the Advanced Battery Analyzer/Charger (ABAC) Technology under development at AlliedSignal for the US Navy. The ABAC technology provides complete battery maintenance and support solution including battery analysis, charging and multimedia based operator-training capabilities. The technology addresses three battery electrochemical couples: Lead-acid, Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd), and Silver-Zinc (AgZn). The ABAC technology is a cutting edge technology which is being implemented using state-of-the-art hardware and software components. This paper describes the need for a comprehensive battery support solution Program objectives and goals as jointly defined by the Navy and AlliedSignal are outlined. Key features and benefits of the technology are highlighted. The paper provides an overview of the ABAC Technology development approach. various applications of the technology are discussed The multimedia-training package, which can be tailored to specific mission requirements, is discussed The paper illustrates how time, electrical energy and cost savings are realized as a result of this technology. Monetary payoffs are quantified and a detailed discussion is included on potential benefits. Finally, the paper enumerates several target applications planned for this technology.
