Overview of Solar Energy Battery

Overview Primary Batteries The main sources of power for Marine Corps communications equipment are primary batteries; most notably the Lithium-Sulfur Dioxide battery BA-55908/0. Primary batteries are nonrechargeable, one-time use batteries. Increased operational tempo and unexpected production shortfalls have severely reduced the availability of high demand, high-use primary batteries. Units cannot continue to rely on primary …
