Battery grids are critical system used in automobile, renewable energy, medical devices and mobile phones. Research efforts are directed to increase energy density, longevity and reduce the cost. This paper is related to computational optimisation of lead acid battery for efficiency and performance improvement. Battery grid is the precursor for the active material and current distribution in lead acid electrochemical cell. Battery grid are made by casting or expanded metal process. The current density is correlated to corrosion resistance and long life cycle time. These investigations highlight the potential of Computational Electromagnetic (CEM) and electrochemistry simulations for innovative battery design.
