Lead-acid battery electrochemical characterization of the Bell System battery: field trials of the battery
Journal Article

· Bell Syst. Tech. J.; (United States)
The electrochemical characteristics of pure lead circular grids, pasted plates and separators were studied individually and then extrapolated to encompass a full battery. Polarization data for grids and pasted plates are presented. These can be scaled to predict battery behavior when one takes the role of the separator into consideration. Proper venting of entrapped gases results in capacity behavior of the circular cell which is at least equal to equivalent commercial cells. The overcharge or float behavior was shown in the laboratory to be excellent. Field trails have confirmed the laboratory tests and have shown that the battery has excellent capacity and float characteristics which ensure that this capacity will be retained for long periods of time. 12 references.
