FERNANDEZ, Herman; MARTINEZ, Abelardo; GUZMAN, Víctor  and  GIMENEZ, María. Pspice simulation of a simplified and highly efficient lead-acid battery model. uct [online]. 2009, vol.13, n.52, pp.231-237. ISSN 1316-4821.

A new lead-acid battery model is presented, with a reduced component count, lower processing time, high efficiency, able to parametrize the charge and discharge resistances and easily adaptable to other simulation platforms. To prove the model, an external supply is used to evaluate the charge and discharge operating modes. The simulated test shows the satisfactory model response in the charge and discharge modes, with over 90% efficiency. Furthermore comparisons are made with other models, underlaying its advantages and disadvantages.
