Abstract
There are different “fuels” available for electric vehicles in the form of NiCad, nickel-metal hydride or the more conventional lead-acid batteries. This paper describes Arizona State University´s (ASUs) experience with NiCad batteries in its university electric formula racing car, the Formula Lightning. In particular the paper describes the car and the battery management system for the SAFT STM 140 Ah flooded cell NiCad battery
