Regulations for batteries

The attributes which are essential for a battery to be successful as the energy store for an electric vehicle are reviewed. These are then matched against the substantial advances in the technology of valve-regulated lead–acid ŽVRLA. batteries that have been posted during the course of the technical programme of the Advanced Lead–Acid Battery Consortium ŽALABC.. A project which was designed to draw together several desirable features, identified during the early years of the ALABC programme, into a test battery has provided much useful information. ...

For decades, valve regulated lead acid batteries with gel electrolyte have proved their excellent performance in deep cycling applications. However, their higher cost, when compared with flooded batteries, has limited their use in cost sensitive applications, such as automotive or PV installations. The use of flooded batteries in deep or partial state of charge working conditions leads to limited life due to premature capacity loss provoked by electrolyte stratification.
