Ballistic Missile System Innovative Batteries

Lithium rechargeable batteries with reduced unit cost, increased safety and reliability, increased manufacturing yield, increased shelf life, and higher energy density by researching and developing alternative materials that have the same or betterelectrochemical properties at lower cost. Overall improvements brought by multiple layer laminate construction with metal-plastic composite current collectors and a separator conducive to room-temperature lamination. Shelf-life enhancement by improvedhermetic seal packaging. These batteries fitted with a trickle charge monitoring system would make them ideal for long-term storage. Rechargeable Batteries, which are safe, lightweight, high energy density, and low unit cost with prolonged shelf-life achieved by alternate and improcved materials and process steps. Incrased energy density, light weight and shelf-life, coupled with thetrickle-charge mechanism to maintain the charge monitorinh would make the rechargeable batteries ideal replacement for reserve and thermal batteries in amunitions, missiles and interceptors.
