Abstract
Arias Research Associates (ARA) has been developing its sealed bipolar lead-acid (SBLA) battery technology since 1990 for eventual application in electric vehicles (EVs) The successful development of small SBLA batteries (up to 48 V, 10 Ah) for use in small electric vehicles (electric powered bicycles, motor scooters, wheelchairs, etc.), is reported together with specifications and preliminary test data. Performance and cost comparisons are made with commercially available sealed lead-acid and nickel-cadmium battery packs for an electric power-assist bicycle
