WATER LOSS OF MAINTENANCE FREE VS ANTIMONY--A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Water loss comparisons will be drawn between calcium-lead Maintenance Free batteries, standard antimonial lead batteries, and low antimony batteries at 80 deg F and at elevated temperatures. Gassing comparisons will also be made between these basic alloy systems at various stages of SAE J240A cycle life. Gassing characteristics of the three systems will be also explored at various states of charge. /SASI/
