Background
Goal of Acoustic Research Detachment Create quieter
NAVY vehicles Use lead-acid
batteries to power their vehicles
A ship uses hundreds of batteries Example: LSV-2
Cutthroat Batteries need to
be replaced every 4 years
NAVY wants to improve battery performance
4
Process of Defining the Project
NAVY Originally CCCV vs. Pulse Analyze rejuvenators Indications of health of battery
University of Idaho Navy specs not design, need design project!
5
Project Definition/Goals
Project Definition Navy needs a reliable way to extend the life of
their batteries. They are considering using battery
rejuvenators. Project Goal
Design a procedure/algorithm that the Navy can use to characterize their rejuvenators.

Conclusions
Pulse rejuvenators work BatteryMINDer works the best
Most important characteristics have been determined in characterizing a rejuvenator
Difference between two batteries pulsing in first 10 min.
Recommend pulse charging for the next charge setup
