Using the data set from T-240 to T+800 sec from recent telemetry downlinks,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 060804 (trigger #222546)
(Ziaeepour, et al., GCN Circ. 5394). The BAT ground-calculated position
is RA,Dec = 112.216, -27.228 deg {7h 28m 51.8s, -27d 13' 41.8"} (J2000)
+- 2.1 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The partial coding was 18%.
The mask-weighted lightcurve shows two overlapping peaks. The first starts
at T-14 sec and peaking at T-10 sec. The second peaks at T+4 sec.
T90 (15-350 keV) is 16 +- 2 sec (estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-12.3 to T+5.5 is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum
is 1.78 +- 0.28. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is
5.1 +- 0.9 x 10^-7 erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
from T+4.46 sec in the 15-150 keV band is 1.2 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.
All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence level.
