Abstract :
The US Army Developed BB-2590 lithium ion battery with 24 each 18650 cells to supplement and provide a pound lighter weight alternative to the BB-390 nickel metal hydride for application in the Army portable radio systems. The Army has done extensive testing in terms of performance and safety on BB-2590 lithium ion rechargeable battery and discovered using the constant current overcharge to the battery can determine how safe the battery can be during the cycle life of the battery in use
