Batteries

I worked on our RAN Oberon Class diesel/electric subs (1960's vintage). I did several stints under the floor in the battery compartment and I can tell you that it was scary even when tied up at the wharf. No metal was allowed - no belt buckles, pens, rings, watches, coins. You would be fried to a pretzel if you shorted out those cells. I think they ran about 400vdc with peak current of hundreds of amps.

Cheers,
John K
