Introduction

Motive power batteries are critical components in various industries, providing energy to drive electric vehicles, industrial machinery, and more. Unlike stationary batteries, motive power batteries are used to power equipment that is in motion, making their performance characteristics integral to operational efficiency and reliability.

Applications of Motive Power Batteries

These batteries are employed in several applications, each requiring specific power outputs and operational characteristics:

• Electric Vehicles (EVs): Serving as the main power source for electric cars, buses, and bikes. EV batteries demand high energy density and long cycle life.
• Industrial Forklifts: Used extensively in warehouses, these batteries require robust performance to sustain high load capacities and frequent discharge cycles.
• Marine Applications: Providing power for all types of boats and submarines, demanding durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions.
• Rail Transport: Powering electric trains and trams where high energy capacity and fast charging capabilities are necessary.

Battery Technologies

The most prevalent technologies in motive power batteries include:

• Lithium-ion (Li-ion): Known for high energy density, Li-ion batteries are prevalent in EVs. Parameters such as a typical energy density of 150-250 Wh/kg and a cell voltage of 3.6-3.7 V make them suitable for high-performance requirements.
• Lead-Acid: Employed mostly in industrial equipment like forklifts, these batteries offer cost-effectiveness despite lower energy densities of about 30-40 Wh/kg and a nominal voltage of 2V per cell.
• Nickel-metal Hydride (NiMH): Provides reliability and long cycle life, often used in hybrid vehicles. These batteries have an energy density between 60-120 Wh/kg.
