Abstract :
A means of rapid, maintenance free activation has been developed for aqueous primary batteries which must operate at extremely low temperatures by employing chemical heat and a heat exchanger device. Units of various sizes have been made to activate in less than one second and provide normal operation throughout a -650 to 160??F temperature range. A description of the heating device is given together with typical performance results for batteries which have various electrical characteristics.
