3. If more than one cell is used, place the cells on top of each other so that unlike metal plates are touching. 4. When ready to fire, clean plates with knife where connections are to be made. Connect one wire to the outer aluminum plate. This may be done by holding the wires against the plates or by hooking them through holes punched through plates. If wires are hooked through plates, be sure they do not touch mixture between plates. 7.13 Improvised Battery (2 Hour Duration) This battery should be used within 2 hours and should be securely wrapped. Three cells will detonate one blasting cap or one igniter. Five cells, connected in series, will detonate two of these devices and so on. Larger cells have a longer life and will yield more power. If depolarizing materials such as potassium permanganate or manganese dioxide cannot be obtained, ten cells without depolarizer, arranged as described below, (step 4) will detonate one blasting cap. Water Materials Required Source
Ammonium chloride (sal ammoniac) (solid or concentrated solution) Charcoal powder Copper or brass plate about 4 inches (10 cm) square and 1/16 inch (2 mm) thick Aluminum plate same size as copper or brass plate Wax and paper (or waxed paper) Candles Wire, string or tape Container for mixing Knife One of the following: Medicines Soldering fluxes Fertilizers Ice melting chemicals for roads Potassium permanganate, solid Disinfectants Deodorants Manganese dioxide Dead dry batteries Note: If ammonium chloride solution is not concentrated (at least 45% by weight) boil off some of the water. Procedure 1. Mix thoroughly (do not grind) approximately equal volumes of powdered charcoal, ammonium chloride and one of the following: potassium permanganate or manganese dioxide. Add water until a very thick paste is formed. If ammonium chloride is in solution form, it may not be necessary to add water. 2. Spread a layer of this mixture, about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick on a clean copper or brass plate. The layer must be thick enough to prevent a second plate from touching the copper plate when it is pressed on top.
