Pulse charging of lead-acid accumulator using negative current steps

The lead-acid batteries are the most commonly used electrochemical power sources and are the oldest type of secondary battery cells. This master thesis provides a short introduction to the lead-acid batteries. It shows possible ways of sorting from different points of view, describes construction of lead-acid batteries, parameters of lead-acid batteries and electrochemical and physical reactions inside the battery. Futher the thesis deals with pulse charging of lead-acid batteries. The thesis describes the production of a set of experimental electrodes for electrochemical workplace resources. The thesis introduces the develepment environment Agilent VEE PRO and demonstrates its capabilities. The final part of this thesis are experiments focusing on the pulse charging using negative current pulses and evaluate the effect of different pulse modes on cells
