Title:
Report on Gassing Characteristics of Flat Plate Lead-Acid Storage Cells During Discharge
Report Date:
1937-12-01
Abstract:
Gassing studies have been conducted on two cells taken from the battery of the S-1. The purpose of the studies was to obtain information that would explain recent fires and other conditions associated with high hydrogen percentages on certain of the submarines equipped with flat plate batteries. It has been found that these cells gas abnormally after charge. The extent of the gassing is a maximum when the cells are allowed to remain on open circuit and it diminishes with the magnitude of the discharge current. The gassing increases very rapidly with increase of temperature and with increase of acid gravity. Complete data is submitted to substantiate these conclusions.
