A-A-52417 Battery, Storage: Alkaline, Nickel-CadmiumThis CID covers the requirements for nickel-cadmium storage batteries primarily for service in military vehicles, starting of missile ground power equipment, radio operation, and as a source of electrical energy for operating vehicular accessories control mechanisms. The nickel-cadmium batteries have a wide tolerance to temperature extremes. They require less derating at low temperatures than lead acid units. Since the specific gravity of the battery electrolyte does not change with the state of charge, they are not susceptible to freezing once a discharge is underway. Nickel-cadmium batteries can operate from plus 200 degrees Fahrenheit (degrees F) to minus 65 degrees F without damage or without the threat of freezing.

tolerances using conversion tables contained in the latest revision of IEEE/ASTM SI 10, and all other requirements of this CID are met.

b. If a product is manufactured to metric dimensions and those dimensions exceed the tolerances specified in the inch-pound units, a request should be made to the contracting officer to determine if the product is acceptable.

c. The contracting officer has the option of accepting or rejecting the product.

5.4 International standardization agreements. Certain provisions (identified by *) of this standard are the subject of international standardization agreement STANAG 4015. When revision or cancellation of this standard is proposed which will effect or violate the international agreement concerned, the preparing activity will take appropriate reconciliation action through international standardization channels, including departmental standardization offices, if required.

5.5 CID Based part identification numbers (PIN). The PINs to be used for batteries acquired to this CID are created as follows (see 2.10):

A 52417 – X

A = CID designator.

52417 = CID number.

X = Battery type

1 - Type I 2HNC

2 - Type II 6TNC

5.6 Cross-reference. Batteries conforming to this document are interchangeable/substitutable with batteries conforming to MIL-B-23272B and MIL-B-23272B/1B.

5.7 Regulatory requirements. The offeror/contractor is encouraged to use recovered materials to the maximum extent practicable, in accordance with paragraph 23.403 of the Federal acquisition Regulation (FAR) (see 2.1).

5.8 MSDS. The contracting officer should identify those activities requiring copies of the completed MSDS prepared in accordance with FED-STD-313. Additional pertinent Government mailing addresses for submission of data are listed in appendix B of FED-STD-313 (see 2.9 and 5.2).
