significant trouble areas have been resolved and considerable
technical progress has been made, too many unexpected technical
difficulties have been encountered and this project cannot be
finished under this work order. The battery can still be
successfully completed but a completely revised program will
have to be initiated. Further reporting on the BSA-49 will
continue under Task Order 7.
Work Order 10 is nearing completion. This is a study
project to optimize the construction of the fast charge button
cell. All results thus far indicate that our new fast charge
(two hour) technique has the potential of being extended to an
even faster charge (1 to lz hour) by making some small changes
in the electrolyte concentration and Adhydrode size. It is too
early to prescribe this faster charge rate but subsequent cells
will be fabricated using this data and their overcharge char-
acteristics at the two hour rate will be significantly improved.
