Features: This book is a practical technical manual that collects and summarizes achievements in the field of batteries from both domestic and international sources. The book consists of 18 chapters, covering fundamental concepts in electrochemistry, the working principles and electrical properties of chemical power sources, as well as different battery systems. The manual provides comprehensive and systematic information on lead-acid battery design, manufacturing, testing, standards, and maintenance, including extensive data and charts. It dedicates a separate chapter to valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. The alkaline battery section includes (pouch-type), sintered steel-nickel batteries, sealed nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries, and zinc-silver batteries, with concise explanations of their performance and structure. Additionally, a chapter is devoted to hydrogen-nickel (Ni-MH) batteries, a hot topic in chemical power sources both domestically and internationally, offering a systematic introduction. This book is intended for engineering technicians with a high school education or higher working in battery usage departments, as well as design and manufacturing units. It can also serve as a reference for faculty and students in relevant disciplines at colleges and universities.
