The endurance of self-sustained oceanographic instruments is
generally limited to battery energy. Tests were initiated to measure the
capacities of several types of electrochemical batteries when discharged at
temperatures and rates typical of oceanographic use. Battery systems
represented are alkaline-manganese dioxide, mercuric-oxide, and lithium
sulphur oxychloride. Results of tests completed so far are presented. A
brief overview of those batteries best suited for use with self-sustained
oceanographic instruments is included as an appendix.
