β¦ Synopsis
As an alternative to the empirical Peukert equation, whose validity is restricted to intermediate discharge rates, a new equation for the limiting capacity of the lead/acid cell is proposed, formally derived from an approximate closed form solution of a two finite compartment diffusion problem. The four parameters of the equation are evaluated through a non-linear least-squares method. The resulting capacity curve fits the typically undulating experimental data closely throughout their range.

The discharge capacity of technical battery electrodes generally shows a dependence on the discharge current density. This is due partly to non relaxing processes like passivation of the internal electrode surface by layers of the discharge product which show a morphology dependent on the discharge
When the lead-antimony grids in lead/acid batteries were substituted by lead-calcium ones, battery cycle life was dramatically shortened . This phenomenon was called first 'antimonyfree effect' and later 'premature capacity loss' (PCL), 'early capacity decline' or 'relaxable insufficient mass utiliz
A brief review, with 25 references, of the 'state of the art' of oxygen recombination technology, which is an important developing area of lead-acid battery manufacture, is presented.
