Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many decades, the lead-acid battery has been the most widely used energy-storage device for medium- and large-scale applications (approximately 100Wh and above). In recent years, the traditional, flooded design of the battery has begun to be replaced by an alternative design. This version - the valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery - requires no replenishment of the water content of the electrolyte solution, does not spill liquids, and can be used in any desired orientation. Since the VRLA battery operates in a somewhat different manner from its flooded counterpart, considerable technological development has been necessary to meet the exacting performance requirements of the full range of applications in which rechargeable batteries are used. The valve-regulated design is now well established in the industrial battery sector, and also appears set to be adopted widely for automotive duty. This book provides a comprehensive account of VRLA technology and its uses. In the future, all industrial processes - including the manufacture of batteries - will be required to conform to the conventions of sustainability. Accordingly, the crucial areas of the environmental impact associated with the production and use of VRLA batteries and the recycling of spent units are also treated thoroughly. Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Batteries gives an essential insight into the science that underlies the development and operation of VRLA batteries and is a comprehensive reference source for those involved in the practical use of the technology in key energy-storage applications. - Covers all major advances in the field - Provides a comprehensive account of VRLA technology and its uses - First book dedicated to this technology

Download or read book MAINTENANCE FREE LEAD ACID BATTERIES written by Otto C. Wagner and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evaluation program on maintenance-free lead-acid batteries was conducted at the US Army Electronics Command for the purpose of determining the feasibility of replacing some of the more expensive nickel-cadmium batteries in the field. With the elimination of troublesome water makeup along with the employment of new state-of-the-art electrode designs, which feature long life and efficient high rate discharge capabilities, the familiar lead-acid battery has become attractive as a high capacity, long life battery with low user cost. Environmental testing has been completed. This battery, with lead-calcium grids, will retain 70% of its initial capacity after storage at 125F for 30 days. A cycle life of 200 cycles at 80% depth of discharge was demonstrated, no water makeup being required during cycling. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to promote the understanding of lead-acid batteries that are used to operate equipment in daily lives of ordinary people, to share information on simple maintenance procedures that can save hundreds of dollars, and to provide information on procedures to stop lead-acid-battery deterioration, which shortens battery life and potentially causes harm to other expensive electrical components in the charging system. This book intends to reveal a scientifically proven method to easily and inexpensively rebuild lead-acid batteries and add years to their service life. Almost everyone depends on the function of lead-acid batteries. Whether it's to start an engine, to run electrical-powered equipment, or for their operational function in industry, batteries are a part of our lives. Unfortunately, few batteries last beyond their warranty period. With proper maintenance and restoration, battery life can be increased up to three times longer than consumers are experiencing. This book, Rebuilding Lead-Acid Batteries: The Scientific Way, reveals how to easily and inexpensively achieve this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lead-Acid Batteries for Future Automobiles provides an overview on the innovations that were recently introduced in automotive lead-acid batteries and other aspects of current research. Innovative concepts are presented, some of which aim to make lead-acid technology a candidate for higher levels of powertrain hybridization, namely 48-volt mild or high-volt full hybrids. Lead-acid batteries continue to dominate the market as storage devices for automotive starting and power supply systems, but are facing competition from alternative storage technologies and being challenged by new application requirements, particularly related to new electric vehicle functions and powertrain electrification. - Presents an overview of development trends for future automobiles and the demands that they place on the battery - Describes how to adapt LABs for use in micro and mild hybrid EVs via collector construction and materials, via carbon additives, via new cell construction (bipolar), and via LAB hybrids with Li-ion and supercap systems - System integration of LABs into vehicle power-supply and hybridization concepts - Short description of competitive battery technologies

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Batteries are becoming increasingly important in today's world of portable electronic devices, along with the need to store electricity derived from solar and other renewable forms of energy, and the desire to introduce electric and hybrid electric vehicles to reduce emissions. Understanding Batteries is a must for all those seeking a straightforward explanation of how batteries are constructed, their operation, and the factors determining their performance and life. Beginning with a brief history of the development of batteries and a discussion of their applications and markets, the book goes on to outline the basic terminology and science of batteries. The different types of primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) batteries are then described and emphasis is given to the importance of matching the battery to the intended application. Examples are given to demonstrate how to define and prioritise the various criteria which comprise the battery specification. Throughout, the chemistry is kept as simple as possible. Understanding Batteries will appeal to a wide range of readers, including electrical equipment manufacturers and users, engineers and technicians, chemistry and materials science students, teachers and the interested battery user.
