BATTERIES IN ELECTRIC VEHICLE AND SOLAR CONVERSION APPLICATIONS

This paper reviews sodium-sulfur, zinc-bromine, sealed lead-acid, hydrogen-nickel oxide, and other advanced battery systems. At this time, there is not a clear winner in the race for the ultimate battery. Each system demonstrates particular advantages, such as performance, cost, or durability, but these are often offset by weaknesses that require focused developmental efforts. However, based on projected characteristics, several advanced batteries have great promise for satisfying future energy storage needs.
