THEORETICAL DESIGN OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY CELLS. PART IV. FURTHER STUDIES OF THE BATTERY DISCHARGE EQUATION.

摘要

An equation was derived describing a complete battery discharge for the case where the current density is constant. The battery potential during discharge is given as a function of time,current density,polarization,internal resistance,and other factors. This equation has a number of practical applications. It can be used to describe battery charges,discharges,capacities,power evolution,and to predict capacities and locate errors in experimental data. A simplified numerical system was developed for determining the equation constants from the experimental data. (Author)
