There is presently a lack of a complete, well-utilized, accurate database of batteries throughout the Canadian and U.S. military. Such a tracking tool could dramatically assist in reducing the proliferation of unique batteries and in serving as a designers tool for standardizing families of batteries for particular families of systems. The battery maintenance procedures within the military organizations could be updated, and training of personnel could reduce maintenance costs. Many battery chemistries require standard, periodic maintenance that prolong the life of the battery. If these maintenance procedures or time intervals are not followed, battery life decreases, resulting in unnecessary maintenance or replacement costs. This paper presents a knowledge framework for the organization of battery information in support of the life cycle management of battery systems used in the military.
