Progress in overcoming the failure modes peculiar to VRLA batteries

The results of an international collaborative program of research have shed new light on the mechanisms limiting the life of valve-regulated lead–acid (VRLA) batteries under different duty cycles. Management of the internal oxygen cycle is a central issue and improvements in materials selection and...

Description
Summary:The results of an international collaborative program of research have shed new light on the mechanisms limiting the life of valve-regulated lead–acid (VRLA) batteries under different duty cycles. Management of the internal oxygen cycle is a central issue and improvements in materials selection and cell design show promise of significant extension in battery life.
