How batteries discharge: A simple model
نویسنده
چکیده
A typical battery is a set of nominally identical voltaic cells in series and/or parallel. We consider the discharge of a single voltaic cell. As the cell discharges due to current-carrying chemical reactions, the densities of the chemical components decrease, which leads to an increase in the internal resistance of the voltaic cell and, upon discharge, a decrease in its terminal voltage and current. A simple model yields behavior similar to what is observed, although accurate battery models are more complex. © 2008 American Association of Physics Teachers. DOI: 10.1119/1.2826658

متن کاملWheelchair batteries: driving cycles and testing.
The battery performance of electric wheelchairs was measured under indoor and outdoor conditions, and simulated driving cycles for these two environments were derived from these tests. Driving cycles were used to bench-test deep discharge wet cell and gel cell lead-acid batteries, nickel-cadmium batteries, and experimental nickel-zinc batteries. Results of this study support the conclusion that...
متن کاملBattery Discharge Aware Energy Feasibility
It is observed that pulsed discharge currents allow to drain the battery with a higher specific power. Thus they improve the batteries durability and discharge performance. The question is how can the allowed discharge of a battery be modeled. Embedded real-time systems often rely on batteries. For these systems it is necessary to prove both, real-time feasibility and the constraint to not exce...
