Potentiodynamic measurements have been employed to study the electrooxidation-reduction reaction of PbSO/sub 4//PbO/sub 2/ on a common lead-calcium-tin-aluminum grid alloy in sulfuric acid solution from -10/spl deg/C to 50/spl deg/C. The logarithm of the peak current density of the electro-oxidation reduction of PbSO/sub 4//PbO/sub 2/ vs. The reciprocal of absolute test temperature has been plotted and presented in Arrhenius form. The effect of alloying with bismuth upon the electrochemical behaviors, in particularly the changes in the kinetics parameters as the electrodes were cycled at different temperature, have been examined.

This paper presents the design procedure and experimental evaluation of an economical electric motorcycle. A commercial motorcycle, powered by an internal combustion engine (ICE), has been converted to run an on a DC electric motor fed by sealed Pb-acid batteries. A theoretical model has been developed and applied for predicting the motorcycle performance. After conversion the motorcycle was thoroughly tested on surface streets as well as on highways. The performance results obtained from these road tests have been compared with those predicted based on the theoretical model and a strong correlation was found. Other energy conversion schemes may be used to convert existing ICE based transportation systems to battery based transportation systems that will meet zero emission standards.

This paper discusses how models previously developed at the University of Idaho can be used to design high performance batteries containing paste additives. One model characterizes the conductivity of the active material. With this model, the influence of different additives, both conductive and nonconductive, on the capacity of paste containing these additives can be evaluated. The results of this analysis is then used in a second model to characterize the performance of cells. The models are used in the paper to help design and evaluate a battery for a hybrid electric vehicle. This design example illustrates how the, models can be used to investigate unique designs for electric and hybrid electric vehicles.

Valve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries provide electrical performance that is virtually identical to sintered plate nickel-cadmium battery systems. In addition, the VRLA batteries offer the user a no maintenance battery and other enhanced features that make this a very desirable battery for aircraft applications. In field trials, where VRLA batteries were substituted for nickel-cadmium batteries, the VRLA provided the user with a high reliability turbine engine starting battery under a wide variety of climatic conditions.

A hybrid fuel cell demonstrated pulse power capability. It successfully ran a pulse power load simulation synonymous with electronics and communications equipment. The hybrid consisted of a 25 W proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack in parallel with a 70 farad capacitor assembly. A cyclic regime of 18.0 W for 2 minutes followed by 2.5 W for 18 minutes was chosen as the basic test regime. The operating potential cut-off voltage for pass/failure was set to 3.0 V. At room temperature (23-25/spl deg/C), the PEMFC alone could not successfully power the baseline regime previously described. The PEMFC operating potential dropped below 3.0 V within 10 seconds. The hybrid continuously powered the cyclic regime for 25 hours. The hybrid's operating potential never reached the voltage cut-off, even during the high load of 18.0 W. The tests were aborted after 25 hours of operation with no signs of output degradation, suggesting that continuous operation is possible.

The performance of electrochemical capacitors containing different commercial carbon fibers is reviewed. High specific capacitances (ca. 300 F/g) are obtained with low surface area carbon fiber (<1 m2/g) using a proprietary activation process. Capacitance is primarily achieved through pseudocapacitance resulting from surface functional groups. The performance of these devices is dependent on the type of carbon fiber, its carbon content, aspect ratio and microstructure. These devices can achieve high cycle life (ca. 100k) without significant loss in capacitance.

The impedance spectra of Zr(V/sub 0.4/Ni/sub 0.6/)/sub 2/, Zr(V/sub 0.2/Mn/sub 0.2/Ni/sub 0.6/)/sub 2/, Zr(V/sub 0.2/Mn/sub 0.2/Ni/sub 0.55/Si/sub 0.05/)/sub 2/ alloys for Ni-MH batteries have been investigated. An equivalent circuit for the reaction of an MH electrode is proposed. The results reveal that: (1) the additions of Mn and Si have significant effects on the reaction resistances of the alloys; (2) Ni powder is an appropriate additive material in the manufacturing process of an MH electrode; and (3) the amounts of Ni powder in the alloy electrode also should be considered in the practical utilisation.

The present study consisted of analyzing zinc plates for the distribution of the NAVSEC-1 mixture. The mixture consists of 2% cadmium oxide and 1% lead oxide. The effectiveness of these additives to reduce hydrogen evolution and minimize shape change depends on the distribution of the components. Comparisons of virgin zinc plates with baseline and 50 cycle cell plates were made.

Three chemistries are used extensively in today's portable telecommunication devices: nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, and lithium-ion. Nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries (also referred to as nickel-based batteries) are well known while lithium-ion batteries are less known. An universal charging algorithm should satisfactorily charge all chemistries while providing recognition among them. Total Battery Management, Inc. (TBM) has developed individual charging algorithms for nickel-based and lithium-ion batteries and a procedure for recognition, if necessary, to incorporate in an universal algorithm. TBM's charging philosophy is the first to understand the battery from the chemical point of view and then provide an electronic solution.
