New applications for lead-acid batteries, such as electric vehicle propulsion, demand high specific energy and power and good cycle life. A research and development program at Johnson Controls Inc., sponsored in part by the United States Department of Energy through Argonne National Laboratory, has been underway since 1978 to develop advanced electric vehicle batteries. Cell test results on an advanced battery design developed under this program are described. Capacity, energy and power delivered at various discharge rates are shown. The effects of discharge rate and temperature on the material utilization of both electrodes are determined. The discharge capacities and charging characteristics during cycle life testing to 100% depth of discharge are also presented.
