| Battery Applications & Technology
Traction batteries are used to provide
motive power for electric or hybrid vehicles. The major
emphasis on traction battery design is the necessity of a
high capacity to weight and volume ratio, since the vehicle
must also carry its power source. Traction batteries are
frequently deep cycled and require a fast charging rate for
use usually within 24 hours. Typical applications are motive
power for fork lifts and electric carts. Traction batteries
are usually of the tubular plate design, which performs more
favorably during deep cycle operation.
