Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 210308A (trigger #1036227)
(D'Elia, et al., GCN Circ. 29619).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 67.083, 37.429 deg which is
    RA(J2000)  =  04h 28m 19.9s
    Dec(J2000) = +37d 25' 42.9"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 32%.
  
The mask-weighted light curve shows a double-peaked structure from T-0.5 sec
to T+9 sec.  The first pulse peaks at T+0.2 sec, and the second pulse peaks
at T+3 sec.  T90 (15-350 keV) is 5.3 +- 0.6 sec (estimated error including systematics).
  
The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.04 to T+7.36 sec is best fit by a power law
with an exponential cutoff.  This fit gives a photon index 0.76 +- 0.28,
and Epeak of 113.6 +- 31.0 keV (chi squared 52.89 for 56 d.o.f.).  For this
model the total fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 3.2 +- 0.1 x 10^-6 erg/cm2
and the 1-sec peak flux measured from T+2.12 sec in the 15-150 keV band is
13.6 +- 0.7 ph/cm2/sec.  A fit to a simple power law gives a photon index
of 1.38 +- 0.06 (chi squared 69.63 for 57 d.o.f.).  All the quoted errors
are at the 90% confidence level.
