Model of Relaxation Processes in Batteries

At the present time due to the widespread of electric and hybrid vehicles there is a need for batteries practical models construction. In this study, a fundamentally new non-linear structural method was used for battery work modeling. A non-linear structural model is developed of relaxation processes after battery charging. The model is correct for alkaline, acidic and lithium-ion batteries. The comparison of the model solutions with the experimental data for the alkaline batteries showed that the relative error does not exceed 3%. © The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS.
