National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Simplified Version of the Federal Urban Driving Schedule for Electric Vehicle Battery Testing.

DE89004839

Publication Date	1988
Page Count	40
Abstract	A simple version of the Federal Urban Driving Schedule (FUDS) has long been sought after by those involved in electric vehicle battery testing to (1) reduce the cost of hardware required to test electric vehicle batteries and record the data, (2) extract information that cannot be obtained from a continuously transient cycle and (3) decrease the uncertainty in range determination by shortening the cycle. The methodology and results of this effort by the EHP Battery Test Working Task Force for a simplified FUDS battery discharge test cycle (called the SFUDS79) is presented. This battery test cycle may be used to replace the constant-rate discharge tests which are presently used to characterize batteries for electric vehicles, and offers an alternative to the FUDS test while providing the same information regarding battery range and cycle life. 11 figs., 4 tabs. (ERA citation 14:011147)
