Abstract
SLI lead-acid batteries are still the most commonly used technology in automotive applications around the world. Despite its relatively low gravimetric and volumetric energy density in comparison with other battery solutions it is still installed in the newest micro-hybrid and conventional cars due to its low cost. To facilitate the design of multi-physical systems as complex as modern automobiles, it is critical to have a precise battery aging model that incorporates various operation conditions. This paper presents an aging model that provides crucial information about state of health of SLI battery during lifetime for any conditions like climate, driving style, charging strategy or different battery management approaches. Described model is based both on empirical and physico-chemical solutions and can be calibrated to simulate any SLI lead-acid battery without design limitations.
