Abstract: Abstract A one-dimensional porous electrode model of a lead-acid cell was presented which predicts the cell voltages, current density distribution, electrolyte concentration, porosity, and local active material utilization as a function of the time and the position perpendicular to the electrode surface. The model also can be used to quantify the impact on the cell performance of design and operation variables such as discharge rate, operating temperature, electrode porosity, electrolyte concentration, plate thickness, and interplate spacing. Good agreement was found between model predictions and data of cells where the discharge is limited by the positive electrode. The implication of the model is discussed with emphasis on the interactions between electrode design variations and cell performance.
