This battery was built in April 1942 to intercept enemy aircraft trying to intrude into the Sasebo naval port area from the direction of the East China Sea. It was equipped with two Type89 (1929) 12.7cm twin antiaircraft guns, a pair of Type97 (1937) sound locators, and two Type96 (1936) 150cm searchlights. Two guns, a searchlight, and a sound locator were located on the top of Mt. Bandake and a sound locator and a searchlight were set on the northern top. This is the only place where Type97 (1937) sound locators were equipped in the Sasebo area. They were characterized by their function to detect the exact location of enemy aircraft by combining these two sound locators.
This battery experienced several anti-air conflicts during the last stage of the Pacific War. Especially during the air raid on November 21, 1944, it fired 68 shots and shot down one U.S. B-29 bomber.
