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

✦ Synopsis
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 current density; partly to relaxing exhaustion process like acid depletion in the pores of lead electrodes.
The discharge capacity for any current profile is derived using an approach both for non relaxing and relaxing discharge processes. This approach is successfully applied for the description of the capacity obtained on repeated discharge of Pb and PbO, electrodes with intermittent rest periods as a function of current density.

The electrochemical properties of lead-strontium alloys have been investigated by using a dynamic potential technique and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that the alloys appear more resistant to corrosion than traditional lead-antimony alloys or modern lead-calcium alloys. Perha
A theoretical expression has been derived for the dependence of the discharge capacity, C, of the positive plate of the lead-acid battery, on the temperature, T, in the form dlnC/dT = (k -l)(dlnK /dT + l/T), where k is the coefficient of Peukert's equation and K is the specific conductivity of the
