Title: Deep sea pressure compensated expendable energy source

Abstract: An improved power source for marine applications includes a salt water acated battery adapted for actuation after a specific predetermined immersion time. The improved battery construction is characterized by an enclosed volume of flexible, plastic material confining the seawater electrodes therein. The pair of panel-like closures seal apertures in the top and bottom surface of the battery case to confine an inert liquid filling therein. A retention mechanism holds the panel-like closures in the sealed position against the urging of an actuation system urging the panels in an open position.
