✦ Synopsis

Submarine cell technology is reviewed, in order to examine its potential application in electric vehicle batteries. Characteristics covered include mechanical construction, electrical energy densities at various rates, improvements in high-rate performance by increased conductivity, methods of decreasing electrolyte stratification, reducing charge time, use of special alloys to reduce hydrogen evolution and improve charge retention, and heat management during charge and discharge.
