ABSTRACT
Abuse tests were conducted on the lead-acid batteries used to power electrical testers used at the
Department of Energy's Pantex Plant. Batteries were subjected to short circuits, crushes,
penetrations, and drops. None of the observed responses would be a threat to nuclear explosive
safety in a bay or cell at Pantex. Temperatures, currents, and damage were measured and
recorded during the tests.
