Negative lead-acid battery electrodes doped with glass fibres

Abstract

Negative lead-acid battery electrodes doped with microscopic glass fibres show similar properties during accelerated partial state of charge cycling as those doped with carbon or titanium dioxide, including a long cycle life of up to 84,000 cycles. The optimum amount of this additive in the negative active mass seems to be between 2 and 3 wt. %.Negative lead-acid battery electrodes doped with microscopic glass fibres show similar properties during accelerated partial state of charge cycling as those doped with carbon or titanium dioxide, including a long cycle life of up to 84,000 cycles.
