What is the capacity of electric car battery generally?

The surface of the electric car battery is printed with fonts. Some of them are 6-DZM-12, and some are 6-DZM-20, which means that the battery capacity is 12AH or 20AH. The 20AH is larger than the 12AH and has a heavy weight.

A battery, also known as a battery, is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy.

The function is to supply power to the engine. When the vehicle is ready to start, the battery will discharge to provide power to the starter, and the starter will drive the flywheel and the crankshaft to rotate, thereby starting the vehicle.

When the engine is under-powered or not started, power is supplied to the interior electrical appliances such as the sound system, the lighting system, etc., and when the engine starts to supply power normally, the battery collects and stores the electrical energy for use.

1) Ordinary battery; the plate of an ordinary battery is composed of oxides of lead and lead, and the electrolyte is an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. Its main advantage is that the voltage is stable and the price is cheap; the disadvantage is that the specific energy is low (that is, the energy stored per kilogram of battery), the service life is short, and the daily maintenance is frequent.

2) Dry-charged battery: Its full name is dry-charged lead-acid battery. Its main feature is that the negative plate has high storage capacity. In the completely dry state, it can save the obtained power within two years. When only the electrolyte is added, it can be used after 20-30 minutes.

3) Maintenance-free battery: Maintenance-free battery due to its own structural advantages, the consumption of electrolyte is very small, and it is basically unnecessary to supplement distilled water during the service life. It also has the characteristics of shock resistance, high temperature resistance, small size and small self-discharge. The service life is generally twice that of a normal battery.

There are two types of maintenance-free batteries on the market: the first one requires no maintenance (addition of replenishing liquid) during the one-time application of the electrolyte at the time of purchase; the other is that the battery itself has been charged with electrolyte and sealed off at the factory. The user can't add supplemental liquid at all.

The battery standard "AH" is safe, that is, we can say how much electricity this battery can hold. The larger the number on the front of the letter, the larger the battery capacity is, and vice versa. DZM refers to the special type of electric bicycle. The upper part is marked with 3, 6, 8 etc. 6 is 6 grid 12V, 3 is 3 grid 6V8 is 8 grid 16V full name is 6-DZM-12, which is what we say 12V12A. Electric vehicles are now mainly 24V36V48V60V72V, the market is mostly 48V, 36V old cars, 60V new cars. The battery cells are all 12V, 48V is 4 strings, 60V is the difference of 5 series connection capacity. Now our common electric vehicles are equipped with the national standard 10121720A. The batteries 10 and 12 have the same appearance and can be used universally. 20 appearance size is the same, but the weight is different, 17 amps is 6.3 kg, 20 amps is 7 kg, which means that the larger the volume, the larger the volume, the heavier, if the volume weight is the same as 20, labeled 22 And 24, the description is a virtual standard, in fact, did not reach 22 and 24. Currently, 99% of the electric vehicles on the market use 1012A and 1720A. These other standard models cannot be installed in the car. To the car is greater than this standard is a virtual standard.

Electric vehicle battery is the power source on electric vehicles. Most of the current electric vehicles are equipped with lead-acid batteries. Lead-acid batteries are low in cost and cost-effective. Because this battery can be charged and can be used repeatedly, it is called a “lead-acid battery”.

In 1860, France's Plante invented a battery using lead as an electrode, which is the precursor of a lead-acid battery.

The following four types of power batteries can be used by electric bicycles, namely valve-regulated lead-acid maintenance-free batteries, colloidal lead-acid batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries, and lithium-ion batteries .

Lead-acid batteries

Lead-acid batteries are widely used and widely studied by various electric vehicles in various countries because of their low price, abundant material sources, high specific power, mature technology and manufacturing processes, and high resource recovery rate. As a labor-saving, convenient, fast, comfortable, inexpensive, zero-emission personal vehicle, electric bicycles have been widely accepted and received the attention of relevant state departments. The Research Group on the Development Strategy of Light Electric Vehicle Industry, which was participated by the Development Research Center of the State Council, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Construction, and the Ministry of Science and Technology, put forward the report on the “Study on the Development Strategy of Light Electric Vehicle Industry”. The number of electric bicycles in the country has reached more than 30 million. More than 95% of electric bicycles use VRLA batteries.

The vast majority of commercial electric bicycles are sealed lead-acid batteries, which do not need to be replenished frequently and are maintenance-free. The main chemical reaction is: PbO2+2H2SO4+Pb←Charging, Discharging→2PbSO4+2H2O

When the lead-acid battery is charged, the spongy lead of the yttrium-yang pole which becomes lead sulfate releases the sulfuric acid component fixed therein into the electrolyte, and becomes sponge lead and lead oxide, respectively, and the concentration of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte is continuously increased; The lead oxide in the anode and the spongy lead on the cathode plate react with sulfuric acid in the electrolyte to become lead sulfate, and the concentration of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte is continuously lowered. When the lead-acid battery is not fully charged, the lead sulfate of the yin and yang plates cannot be completely converted into spongy lead and lead oxide. If the long-term charging is insufficient, the lead sulfate will crystallize, the plate will be vulcanized, and the battery quality will be deteriorated; When the battery is overcharged, the amount of oxygen generated by the anode is greater than the adsorption capacity of the cathode, so that the internal pressure of the battery increases, causing gas to overflow, the electrolyte is reduced, and the active material may soften or fall off, and the battery life is greatly shortened.

Comprehensive performance has been greatly improved

In the past 10 years, the comprehensive performance of valve-regulated lead batteries for electric bicycles has been greatly improved. Take the 6-DZM-10 battery as an example. In 1997, this type of battery has insufficient capacity, the 2h rate (5A) discharge capacity is less than 10Ah; the specific energy is low, the specific energy of 2h rate is less than 30Wh/kg; the life is short, and the cycle life of 100% discharge depth is only 50~ 60 times (before the capacity dropped to 8Ah; the same below), the service life is only 3~5 months.

By 2003, the 2h rate (5A) discharge capacity reached 11~13Ah; the 2h rate specific energy reached 33~36Wh/kg; the 100% discharge depth cycle life reached 250~300 times, and the service life could reach more than 12 months. The problems with valve-regulated lead-acid batteries for electric bicycles have basically been solved.

There is a new and breakthrough in the deep cycle life performance of this type of battery. The main performances are: 2h rate (5A) initial discharge capacity reaches 14Ah; 2h rate specific energy reaches 38Wh/kg; 100% discharge depth has a cycle life of more than 400 times, the total discharge capacity is 4500Ah, and the corresponding cumulative mileage is about 18000km (to 4km) /Ah, the same as below). The highest deep cycle life is more than 600 times, and the total discharge capacity is 6151 Ah, and the corresponding accumulated mileage is about 24,600 km. If the capacity is less than 7Ah as the end of life mark, the deep cycle life is 943 cycles, the total discharge capacity is 8710Ah, and the corresponding accumulated mileage is about 34800km. If you press the deep cycle life of 250 times or release the total capacity of 2250Ah, the corresponding accumulated mileage of 9000km can be guaranteed for 1 year. [1]

Pay attention to the match with the charger

In the practice of many years of use, the whole vehicle manufacturers and battery manufacturers of electric bicycles have gradually recognized the importance of matching between the battery and the electric drive system related equipment, especially the matching with the charger. Manufacturing quality is a prerequisite for battery quality, but it can only be used with its matching charger to achieve the superior performance of high-quality batteries, otherwise high-quality batteries cannot fully exert their potential superior performance.

The storage parameters of different manufacturers' batteries are different due to differences in formulation, structure, acid concentration and the like. For example, we found in the study that the charging parameters of different manufacturers' batteries in the constant voltage stage can differ by 1.5~2.0V (for 36V battery pack). The basic requirements for proper charging parameters are: to ensure that the battery can be fully charged, and that the battery capacity will not be attenuated due to under-charging; and to ensure that the battery will not be seriously dehydrated and thermally run out of control due to over-charging during the whole life.

Pure electric vehicle lead storage battery

The open-type lead storage battery used in the early pure electric vehicles adopted the research results during the “August 5th” planning period, and has achieved successful experience of 19 months (120,000 km). The key is to accumulate the control charging mode and depth of discharge. And timely hydration and other system matching work experience and meticulous maintenance experience. In recent years, four-wheeled miniature electric vehicles (including tour buses, patrol cars, golf carts, short-distance road vehicles, etc.) have developed rapidly, and most of the cars used are open lead batteries. The battery of the corresponding model is favored by the battery manufacturer.

The electric vehicle adopts a new valve-regulated sealed lead storage battery, and its performance is: 3h rate capacity 55Ah; 3h rate specific energy is 33Wh/kg and 84Wh/L; 75% discharge depth has a cycle life of more than 400 times. It is believed that the successful experience of valve-regulated lead batteries for electric bicycles can be extended to valve-regulated lead batteries for pure electric vehicles, and the performance will be further improved.

Lead battery for hybrid electric vehicles

Hybrid electric vehicles are now basically divided into three categories: light hybrid (ie, electric systems are mainly used to start and recover braking energy, 42V electric systems that will be promoted in all cars belong to this type), moderate hybrid (ie electric) The system is used to start, recover braking energy and medium and short distance travel), heavy hybrid (ie electric system for starting, recovering braking energy and driving over longer distances, also known as "Plug-in").

It has been clarified in domestic and foreign literatures that in lightly mixed electric vehicles, valve-regulated lead storage batteries are advantageous, mainly because of their low cost, mature technology and reliable performance; valve-controlled lead storage batteries for medium-mixed electric vehicles. , ALABC (Advanced Lead-Acid Battery Complex) is being organized to prepare for the market for moderate hybrid electric vehicles with MH-Ni batteries. Roll-on bipolar batteries and TMF (metal) have been introduced and tested on the vehicle. Thin film) battery; in the field of heavily mixed electric vehicles, the lead battery has a low specific energy and cannot meet the driving requirements of the electric system for a long distance.

Colloidal battery

It is an improvement of ordinary lead-acid batteries for liquid electrolytes. It adopts gelatinous electrolyte and has no free liquid inside. It has large electrolyte capacity, large heat capacity and strong heat dissipation ability in the same volume. It can avoid the thermal runaway phenomenon that is easy to be generated in general batteries. The electrolyte concentration is low and the corrosion of the plates is weak. The concentration is uniform and there is no acid stratification.

Nickel-metal hydride battery

(Ni-MH)

Ni-MH batteries are rookies in the battery family that emerged in the 1990s and are growing rapidly. The electrode reaction of the Ni-MH battery is:

Positive electrode: Ni(OH)2+OH-=NiOOH+H2O+e-

Negative electrode: M+H2O+e=MHab+OH-Ni(OH)2+M=NiOOH+MHab

It is the same alkaline battery as the nickel-cadmium battery. It only replaces the cadmium cd of the negative electrode material in the nickel-cadmium battery with the hydrogen storage alloy material (mh), and the electromotive force is still 1.32v. It has all the excellent characteristics of nickel-cadmium batteries, and its energy density is higher than that of nickel-cadmium batteries. The main advantages are: higher specific energy (longer distance for one charge); higher specific power, smooth discharge during high current operation (good acceleration of climbing ability); good low temperature discharge performance; long cycle life; safe and reliable, Maintenance-free; no memory effect; no pollution problems to the environment, renewable, consistent with the concept of sustainable development. However, Ni-MH batteries are too expensive and expensive.

lithium ion battery

The lithium-ion battery is a new high-energy battery that was first introduced to the market by Sony Corporation of Japan in 1990. The advantage is that it has higher specific energy and is the current battery with the highest energy. It has been promoted and applied in portable information products.

Lithium-ion batteries are generally considered to have the following advantages: large specific energy; high specific power; low self-discharge; no memory effect; good cycle characteristics; fast discharge, high efficiency; wide operating temperature range; no environmental pollution, etc. It is expected to enter the ranks of the best power supply in the 21st century. It is expected that during the period of 2006-2012, when lithium-ion batteries are further developed, the market share of MH/Ni batteries will shrink. The lithium ion market share will expand. Electric bicycle products using lithium ion batteries have been sold.

Lithium-ion batteries for electric bicycles are close to practical use, driven by the development of new low-cost cathode materials with good safety, good cycle performance and high specific capacity. Several lithium-ion batteries for electric bicycles with a battery management system (BMS) are available. There are also electric bicycle manufacturers specializing in the production of lithium ion batteries. The author believes that the lithium-ion battery for electric bicycles will be the first commercialized, high-volume power-type battery in the car; it will be a practical battery after the lead battery, and will also be used for high-end electric the battery of the bicycle product. There have been many reports on large-scale lithium-ion batteries in pure electric cars and electric buses, as well as trials on hybrid electric vehicles. According to the current development level and experience of lithium-ion batteries, it is considered that the safety of 48V10Ah battery packs for electric bicycles is guaranteed, but the use of large-scale lithium-ion batteries for commercial electric vehicles still requires a lot of hard work. Mainly: pure electric cars and electric buses, as well as hybrid electric vehicles, the number of batteries used, the system is complex, the safety is more difficult, the requirements for reliability and consistency are higher, the price is too high. It has been reported that Shenzhen BYD will provide 200 taxi cars with lithium-ion batteries as the power source in 2005. It has been postponed until 2007.

The fuel cell

The fuel cell directly converts chemical energy into electrical energy to supply the motor to drive the vehicle. Its main advantages are: high efficiency, fuel saving; zero emissions; low noise, etc., especially suitable for vehicle power source. Hydrogen fuel cell vehicles will be the ideal vehicle to eventually replace petroleum-based fuels.

Zinc-nickel battery (Zn-Ni)

Zn-Ni batteries have been considered as batteries for electric vehicles that should be promoted. From the market screening of 4 to 5 years, it is almost never used on commercial electric vehicles. This is mainly due to the high price of Zn-Ni battery (2.5 to 4 yuan per VAh, 4 to 6 times that of lead storage battery); during the cycle, the initial capacity attenuation rate is large, which affects the actual usable life of the battery pack. In addition, the rapid development and price reduction of lithium ion batteries make Zn-Ni batteries less competitive in electric vehicles.

Zinc air battery

Zinc air battery is a kind of metal-air battery and belongs to the category of semi-fuel battery. It has the advantages of high energy, abundant raw materials, low price, no pollution, and is considered to be a competitive candidate for batteries for electric vehicles.

American Chinese have set up PowerZinc, which produces mechanically rechargeable zinc batteries in Shanghai, and has built demonstration workshops. The manufactured electric bicycles and electric motorcycles were loaded with zinc-air batteries for driving mileage tests, reaching 150km and 250km respectively, and a large number of promotion and application work were carried out, and 50 battery replacement points were established in Shanghai. However, in less than one year, the promotion trial work stopped, and the results of market screening were not accepted by users. Later, with the support of some leaders, an electric bus with the zinc-air battery manufactured by the manufacturer was used as the power source. However, due to the poor power performance of the zinc-air battery, the starting and acceleration performance of the vehicle was significantly worse. Much work has been done at the development of zinc-air batteries for electric vehicles at home and abroad. In recent years, the development of zinc-air batteries for electric vehicles in China has re-emerged, but the practice has confirmed the superiority of zinc-air batteries, and also exposed some problems that have been reported abroad, such as zinc electrode replacement service system, regeneration, cost, cycle life of the oxygen electrode, leakage of the electrolyte of the battery, leakage or overflow.
