  • Self warming low cost tactical electronics battery
    Patent number: 5834131
    Abstract: A self-warming battery for use in tactical electronics systems, having a housing containing one or more commercially available alkaline manganese dioxide battery cells, a temperature sensor disposed adjacent to the battery cells for monitoring the temperature thereof, load resistors disposed adjacent to the battery cells for cell warming, and a battery self-warming circuit disposed in the housing. The battery self-warming circuit is coupled to the battery cells and the temperature sensor, and selectively causes current flow through the battery cells in an initializing mode when the temperature sensor detects that the battery cells are below a predetermined temperature.
