The AC impedance behavior of a lithium-ion cell with nonporous intercalation electrodes is simulated using a model based on well-established theoretical principles. The effects of cell design (electrode thickness, ratio of cathode to anode capacity) and electrode properties (capacitance, kinetics, diffusion coefficient) on impedance spectra are explored.

The United States Navy has flown valve regulated lead-acid batteries (VRLA) for approximately 18 years. The first VRLA aircraft batteries were cylindrical cell design and evolved to a prismatic design to save weight, volume, and to increase rate capability. This paper discusses the next generation of the VRLA aircraft battery. The HORIZON composite grid VRLA design reduces weight, increases high rate performance, and is expected to increase service life. This paper discusses the weight reduction over the present 30 ah prismatic VRLA aircraft battery design; improvements in high rate engine start performance, and presents the status of the development effort. Finally, the paper discusses the applications for the 30 Ah composite grid VRLA aircraft battery, and shows the future application opportunities for light weight VRLA both in the military and commercially.

Successful commercialization of electric vehicles will require a confluence of technology, market, economic, and political factors that transform EVs into an attractive choice for consumers. The characteristics of the traction battery will play a critical role in this transformation. The relationship between battery characteristics such as power, capacity and efficiency, and EV customer satisfaction are discussed based on real world experience. The results of seven years of electric vehicle design, development, and use are summarized and related to battery function, performance, and cost. The tradeoffs between EV driver satisfaction and cost are evaluated. The roles of political and regulatory factors relating to battery choice are discussed.

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery charging systems typically use both constant-current and constant-voltage charge. By compensating the optimum charge voltage for the extra impedances in the battery charge path, the internal cell voltage can now be maintained closer to its rated value. This is beneficial because it allows delivery of optimal charge while reducing overall charge time to the theoretical full-charge capacity level.

Fiber glass (FG) is used for insulation, filtration, and reinforcements. Because FG can release respirable fibers during manufacture and handling, respiratory health in the FG workplace has been the focus of numerous studies. Ongoing epidemiology studies of fiber glass workers find no consistent evidence of a causal relationship between human health effects and fiber glass exposure. However, in 1987, IARC designated fiber glass a "possible carcinogen." A 1988-98 series of rodent fiber inhalation studies evaluated the respiratory effects of 15 different inorganic fibers (including 4 FGs). The studies showed a strong relationship between toxicity and biopersistence-fibers that cleared from the lung quickly were innocuous and those that showed little/no clearance induced permanent effects. Thus, fiber biopersistence tests in rats are now accepted in Europe and recognized in the US as valid indicators of potential chronic toxicity. Furthermore, regulatory agencies in Europe and the United States encourage the use of nonbiopersistent FG formulations where possible.

AlliedSignal has developed innovative battery analysis and charging technologies for lead acid, nickel cadmium, and silver-zinc battery families, under the Navy's new technology development initiative. Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment has been used to develop and implement technologies to meet the growing analysis and maintenance needs of secondary batteries. One highlight of the capabilities developed under this program, is a technique for electrochemically measuring the state of charge (SOC) of silver-zinc (Ag-Zn) batteries. This paper presents the developed technique and outlines a three-stage test procedure for determining SOC. The technique takes a minimal amount of time and provides results of high accuracy. This development meets a longstanding need for the immediate verification of Ag-Zn battery readiness.
