Full-size zinc-chloride batteries for electric-vehicle and utility load-leveling applications have been under development at EDA for the past five years. Descriptions of the design and operation of these prototype batteries are provided elsewhere. In general, performance issues dictate battery-design criteria for both applications. For electric vehicles, these issues include energy and power densities, while for the stationary load-leveling application, efficiency is a key consideration. As for all battery systems, life-cycle costs are the critical issue for the zinc-chloride system. This paper reports the status of battery technology for both applications in April 1982. Data are presented for a load-leveling battery which was built and tested as part of an on-going DOE-EDA Program. With funding solely provided by Gulf and Western Industries, Incorporated, EDA has built and tested three 4 passenger vehicles powered by zinc-chloride batteries. Battery data, taken during the extensive testing of the first vehicle, are presented also in this paper.
