THEORETICAL DESIGN OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY CELLS. PART IV. FURTHER STUDIES OF THE BATTERY DISCHARGE EQUATION.
Abstract
An equation was derived describing a complete battery discharge for the case where the current density is constant. The battery potential during discharge is given as a function of time, current density, polarization, internal resistance, and other factors. This equation has a number of practical applications. It can be used to describe battery charges, discharges, capacities, power evolution, and to predict capacities and locate errors in experimental data. A simplified numerical system was developed for determining the equation constants from the experimental data. (Author)
