摘要:
This invention provides a power supply system for supplying electrical power to a load. The system includes: a first and a second power supply wirings for a connection to the load; a fuel cell system having a fuel cell connected between the first and second power supply wiring; a secondary power supply system connected in parallel to the fuel cell between the first power supply wiring and the second power supply wiring; a switch for opening and closing the connection between the fuel cell and the first power supply wiring; a countercurrent prevention device connected between the fuel cell and the first power supply wiring; and a controller for controlling the secondary power supply system and the switch. The controller controls the secondary power supply system to boost a terminal voltage of the secondary power supply system to a first voltage, when connecting the fuel cell to the first power supply wiring. The first voltage is equal or higher than an electrical potential difference of the open terminals of the fuel cell.

摘要:
A personal portable power supply containing first and second different types of cells or batteries of cells. The capacity and discharge rate of the power supply is such that it is capable of starting automobile engines on several different occasions without needing to be electrically recharged. The capacity is also such that it can power personal devices for relatively long periods of time. The first cell or battery of cells is chosen to have a high discharge rate and high peak amperage or cold cranking amperage. The second type of cell or battery of cells is chosen to have a high energy density and a low cost. The electrical characteristics of each cell or battery of cells is chosen so that the second type of cell is able to recharge the first type of cell during periods of non-use.
摘要:
A reversible high energy capacity battery and method of making that battery. A cathode is formed by packing a mixture of from about 10 to 90 weight percent finely divided sulfur and from about 90 to 10 weight percent finely divided graphite about an electrically conductive electrode, preferably in a porous enclosure. This cathode and a reactive metal anode are placed in a case of suitable configuration which is non-reactive with other components. An electrolyte is prepared by dissolving a metal solute and an ionic sulfide solute in a polar solvent, such as water. Buffering agents, conditioners and complexing agents may be added to the electrolyte to improve battery life and performance.

摘要:
Briefly, according to the invention, there is provided an energy storage device (5) with three electrodes. A first electrolyte (15)is situated between the first (10) and second (20) electrodes so that it is contact with each of the electrodes, forming a battery cell (80). A second electrolyte (25) is placed between the second (20) and third (30) electrodes so that it is also in contact with each electrode, forming an electrochemical capacitor (70). The battery and capacitor each share a common electrode (20). After charging, the energy storage device can be linked to an electrical device to power it by discharging the battery portion to provide a substantially constant voltage, and discharging the capacitor portion to provide a substantially constant current when the device requires higher levels of current than the battery portion is capable of providing.
