Lead-Acid Battery Basics

Lead-Acid Battery Cells and Discharging. A lead-acid battery cell consists of a positive electrode made of lead dioxide (PbO 2) and a negative electrode made of porous metallic lead (Pb), both of which are immersed in a sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) water solution. This solution forms an electrolyte with free (H+ and SO42-) ions.

Discharge effectiveness of thermal energy storage systems

The use of air as heat transfer fluid and a packed bed of rocks as storage medium for a thermal energy system (TES) can be a cost-effective alternative for thermal applications. Here, a porous media turbulent flow (standard k-ε) and heat transfer (local thermal non-equilibrium) model is used to simulate the discharge cycle of such system.

Depth of Discharge

Depth of Discharge (DoD) refers to the size of the battery that is actually available for use. For many battery technologies, the state of charge is often limited to the range between 15% and 85% to greatly increase their cycle life, resulting in a DoD (depth of discharge) of 70%. 247 Energy offers batteries with a 100% DoD.
