Testing of the Eagle-Picher Nickel-Iron,the Globe Isoa Lead-Acid,and the Westinghouse Nickel-Iron Battery Subsystems in an Electric-Vehicle Environment.

摘要

Three full size developmental batteries were tested with electric vehicles; two nickel-iron batteries and a lead-acid battery. Constant speed and driving schedule tests were done on a chassis dynamometer. Several aspects of battery performance were evaluated for capacity, recharge efficiency, voltage response, and self discharge. Each of these three batteries exhibited some strengths and some weaknesses.
