Transient Electrical Characteristics of Lead-Acid Submarine Batteries

Abstract

The transient characteristics of submarine cells have been studied to determine the importance and order of magnitudes of such factors as effective internal resistance, internal voltage, and recovery voltage. These factors have been determined quantitatively for various operating conditions and for step loads up to short circuit on the battery. The results reveal the importance of over-voltage which exists during charging and the contribution it makes to short-circuit currents. However, the overvoltage was found to contribute very little to the magnitude of recovery voltage after short circuit. Data is also presented to show the variation of internal resistance for all battery conditions. Recommendations are made for values of internal resistance and voltage to be used in system analysis work.
