The Concorde Battery Corporation is a main producer and
developer of premium quality lead-acid batteries. Their major manufacturing services
and offices are situated in West Covina, CA. The Concorde Battery Corporation
was established in 1978 to develop and construct aircraft batteries for
military and commercial applications. Since that time they have manufactured
batteries for diverse applications. The types of batteries that they
manufacture comprise valve regulated lead-acid batteries for aircraft,
marine, medical, telecommunications, emergency backup, and photovoltaic
applications as well as flooded lead-acid batteries for commercial and military
aircraft.
At present, the Concorde Battery Corporation is
developing a sealed lead acid battery for deep sea applications. This battery
will be attached to the diver and used to power underwater electronics. The
outer case of the battery is made up of injection molded carbon-fiber
reinforced polycarbonate. The battery shall be capable of operating at a depth
of 300 feet in seawater. The Concorde Battery Corporation needs an apparatus
that will test their battery at a pressure of 300 psi. Our job is to design an
apparatus to test the casing of the battery by simulating the conditions at a
depth of 300 ft in seawater. The battery will have to be set through
tough rigorous tests to certify it as capable of withstanding deep sea water
pressures.
