Lead-Acid Batteries: Science and Technology, Second Edition, presents a comprehensive overview of the theory of the technological processes of lead-acid battery manufacture and their influence on battery performance parameters. The book summarizes the current knowledge about the technology of lead-acid battery production and presents it in the form of an integral theory. This theory is supported by ample illustrative material and experimental data, thus allowing technologists and engineers to control the technological processes in battery plants and providing university lecturers with a tool for clear and in-depth presentation of the technology of lead-acid battery production in their courses. . This second edition includes new supplementary material (text and illustrations) in chapters 2, 4, 6 and 16, as well as a brand new chapter 15 on the action of carbon as an additive to the negative active material and the utilization of the lead-carbon supercapacitor electrodes. Substantial revisions of the other chapters have been made with the aim to update the information provided and thus make the book more beneficial for the users: battery researchers, engineers, and technologists.
