Description
The Phase I research under this topic conducted by Lithiumstart demonstrated severaltechnologies that provide a path toward subscale and full scale demonstration of a battery based pulse power source for small, lightweight, portable lasers. These enabling technologies included robust laser welding of cell to cell connectors and high speed data monitoring.Both of these technologies impact the safety and reliability of a system with hundreds or even thousands of cells. These enabling technologies will be combined with proven system design techniques to satisfy functional requirements and balance safety, reliability, weight, modularity, and performance.Approved for Public Release 14-MDA-7903 (2 July 14)
