Internal resistance batteries

Figure 20.14 shows a typical short-circuit curve for an 18,650 Li-Ion cell with a shntdown separator. The cell does not have other safety devices (e.g., CID, PTC), which nsnally work before separator shnt down. As soon as the cell is short circnited externally through a very small shunt resistor, the cell starts heating because of the large current drained through the cell. The shut down of the separator, which occnrs aronnd 130°C, stops the cell from heating further. The current decrease is caused by an increase of battery internal resistance dne to separator shutdown. The separator shutdown helps to avoid the thermal runaway of the cell. 

When the internal oxygen cycle is established, almost all the overcharging current is consumed by the internal oxygen cycle (center bar in the graph). The bar on the right corresponds to a vented battery. Internal resistance assumed as 0.8 mQ per 100 Ah of nominal... 

The internal resistance of zinc-carbon batteries increases with the depth of discharge. Some applications use this feature to estabUsh low battery alarms to predict near end of battery life situations (such as in the smoke detector). Fig. 8.27 shows the relative battery internal resistance versus depth of discharge of a 9-V Leclanch6 battery. 

Internal resistance or impedance is the resistance or impedance that a battery or cell offers to current flow.

The connection of AA-size cells in parallel can replace larger cells (e.g., D-size cells). Four AA cells fit into a D-size can, and six AA-cells are in equivalent weight to a D-cell [27]. The utilization of the Mn02 cathode is considerably improved because the cathode thickness is only 2 mm in a AA cell, but 5 mm in a D-cell. The internal resistance is also lower by a factor of 4 to 6. Figure 11 depicts a 5 PxlO S bundle battery five AA cells in parallel = 1 bundle, 10 bundles in series make a (nominal) 12 V battery. It is used as the power source for a transmitter/receiver service. A typical load profile is 2 A for 1 min, 0.33 A for 9 min average load, 0.5 A per bundle or 0.1 A per cell service, about 15 h. Smaller bundle batteries (with 2x9 cells) are very suitable for notebook-computers 18 AA cells weight 0.36 kg, and the total initial capacity is 32 Wh. 

Flaving had over 150 years of technical development behind them, lead-acid batteries can be custom-tailored to specific applications, such as those requiring deep discharge cycles (e.g., where the batteries are used as the sole power source for electrical equipment) and for battery backup uses such as in large uninterruptible power supply systems in data centers. Moreover, lead-acid cells not only have low internal resistance but also experience no memory effect as do some more exotic cell designs, such as NiCads. This enables these cells to produce enormous currents and have a moderately long, predictable life.1...

Preferably, the lithium ion battery separators range in average fiber diameter from 1-3 p, and in basis weight from 10-20 g m-2 The average fiber diameter and basis weight are substantially the same before and after the pressing. The lithium ion battery separator desirably has a porosity of 40 to 50%, and a thickness of 20-45 p. A lithium ion battery separator with this porosity value provides a low internal resistance and does not pass electrode substances to prevent short circuits. The thickness in the above range is suitable for the separator to be applied to small sized lithium ion batteries (21).
