This project is being carried out under the auspices of the Foresight Vehicle Programme with funding from the UK Department of Trade and Industry and from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Additional funding is being provided from the European Advanced Lead Acid Battery Consortium and from the Hawker Batteries Group. That paper described work carried out on the design and development of the prototype double-ended cell, the development of the battery pack specification and modular pack design and the development of the battery management system. Bench test results indicated that the cells were capable of delivering the high rate performance required by the test vehicle and that cell conditioning was capable of extending battery life under this partial state-of-charge duty cycle. During the initial phase of the Project, the design of the dual tab cell was completed and the cells built and delivered. Subsequent testing of these cells under real vehicle cycling regimes has shown that the cells are capable of meeting the high input and output currents as demanded by the application and that conditioning routines extend battery life. Complex design work on the battery modules and the BMS has been completed and construction of these items finished. Bench testing of a module with its BMS should start shortly. Whilst it would obviously have been preferable to do this ahead of the road tests, project delays with complex software issues have made this impossible.
