Electric Vehicles (EVs) require energy storage system that can address its fast changing load requirements such as sudden acceleration or quick regenerative braking by being able to supply or absorb high power as demanded. Lead Acid Batteries, commonly used in cheaper EVs (like electric tempo in Nepal), can properly supply these variable loads and get recharged but this mode of operation drasti...

A group of 39 storage battery workers was evaluated in terms of pertinent biochemical parameters with regard to duration and degree of occupational exposure to lead. Twenty-two of the group had recognized toxic blood lead levels of greater than 60 mcg/100 ml, but fully 31 exceeded the Center for Disease Control's upper limit of normal for erythrocyte protoporphyrin. Other abnormal values found ...

With the increase in battery usage and decommissioning of waste power batteries (WPBs), WPB treatment has become increasingly important. However, there is little knowledge systems norms regarding performance dismantling treatments, although such facilities factories are being built across globe. In this paper, environmental investigated quantitively using life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology...

BACKGROUND Lead contamination can affect many body organs including the heart. This study assessed a number of echocardiographic indices to clarify the effects of lead on cardiac function among battery factory workers who are in constant exposure to lead. METHODS In a cross-sectional study, 142 male battery factory workers who had been exposed to lead for at least 1 year were evaluated. The s...

The characteristics of lead-acid batteries for wheelchairs in terms of a new empirical equation for the capacity, application of the Palmgren-Miner Rule for sizing the battery, and the effect of depth of discharge on the life cycles is presented. A brief section about selecting an economical battery for an electric wheelchair is included.

A Radial Basis Function based learning system method has been proposed for estimation of State of Charge (SOC) of lead Acid battery. Coulomb metric method is used for SOC estimation with correction factor computed by Radial Basis Function method. Radial Basis function based technique is used for learning battery performance variation with time and other parameters. Experimental results are incl...

Analytical models have been developed to diminish test procedures for product realization, but they have only been partially successful in consistently predicting the performance of battery systems. The complex set of interacting physical and chemical processes within battery systems have made the development of analytical models to be a significant challenge. Advanced simulation tools are need...

INTRODUCTION Disk battery ingestions can lead to serious complications including airway or digestive tract perforation, blood vessel erosions, mediastinitis, and stricture formation. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 20-month-old Caucasian child who developed eosinophilic enterocolitis and subsequent protein-losing enteropathy from manganese that leaked from a lithium disk battery. The disk batte...

Acknowledgement I would like to acknowledge my thesis supervisor, Dr. Greg Crebbin for providing guidance and for helping me to define my research topic, constantly asking me the tough questions. Authors, who have made past contribution to this topic of research and in turn, helped me to formulate my own thesis understanding. Finally, to my family and friends who have provided much needed moral...
