New PDF release: Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Batteries

For many a long time, the lead-acid battery has been the main frequent energy-storage equipment for medium- and large-scale functions (approximately 100Wh and above). in recent times, the normal, flooded layout of the battery has began to get replaced by means of another layout. This model - the valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) battery - calls for no replenishment of the water content material of the electrolyte answer, doesn't spill drinks, and will be utilized in any wanted orientation. because the VRLA battery operates in a a bit diverse demeanour from its flooded counterpart, massive technological improvement has been essential to meet the exacting functionality requisites of the whole diversity of functions within which rechargeable batteries are used.

The valve-regulated layout is now good proven within the business battery quarter, and likewise seems to be set to be followed largely for car duty.

This ebook presents a complete account of VRLA know-how and its makes use of. sooner or later, all commercial approaches - together with the manufacture of batteries - might be required to comply to the conventions of sustainability. therefore, the the most important parts of the environmental impression linked to the construction and use of VRLA batteries and the recycling of spent devices also are taken care of thoroughly.

Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid Batteries supplies a vital perception into the technology that underlies the advance and operation of VRLA batteries and is a entire reference resource for these concerned with the sensible use of the expertise in key energy-storage applications.

• Covers all significant advances within the field
• Provides a finished account of VRLA know-how and its uses
• First e-book devoted to this technology
