Development of a 70 Ah Li-Ion Cell for Aerospace Applications

A viewgraph presentation outlines the development of Li-ion cells at the Li-Ion Technology Center in Missouri. The Li-ion test area is described, as well as the aerospace design and cell construction equipment. Test results are shown for typical charge and discharge, pulse test, and calculated impedance at various temperatures. Near future activities are discussed, including the incorporation of an alternate electrolyte and the optimization of the anode and cathode.
