Adding carbon to negative plates improves lead-acid battery performance. While this boosts small-cycle performance like in hybrid-electric vehicles, larger cycles show less benefit due to reduced charging efficiency from excess carbon.
A lithium-ion battery pack with seven modules, each 3.5 V and 31 Ah, designed for electric scooters, delivered 53 Wh over 2300 cycles in simulated urban scooter conditions.
Arizona Public Service’s Charger Test Project emphasized the charger and battery interface’s role in capacity.
Valve-regulated lead/acid batteries (VRBs) deliver efficient, low-maintenance energy storage for enhanced living standards.
Gelled-electrolyte and flooded-electrolyte lead/acid batteries were tested with a partial-state-of-charge cycling strategy.
An operating strategy using partial-state-of-charge (PSoC) has been developed for a remote power system in Peru.
Electric Applications oversaw the manufacturing and testing of a valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery for hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs).
The PHEV Grid Interaction Evaluation project conducted a demand and energy study with a converted plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) to evaluate its performance under various conditions.
Electric Applications Inc. assessed gelled-electrolyte batteries from Vision and Lichpower for Frazer Nash electric vehicles (EVs).
Electric Applications Inc. has spent a decade developing electric vehicle infrastructure, focusing on efficient PSOC/fast-charge strategies for lead-acid batteries.
