N2 - Autonomous underwater vehicles are increasingly important for oceanographic measurements, coastal defense, and oceanic surveillance. In the particular case of undersea gliders, high energy density lithium/sulfuryl chloride primary batteries are capable of providing power for extremely long missions without the need for replacement. In this presentation we discuss the chemistry and performance characteristics of these batteries, and describe a variety of battery packs that are currently in use in undersea gliders. Electronic circuitry is described that maintains battery safety both at the cell and at the pack level.
