Also, it is important to allow the battery to completely charge before removing the battery from the charger. () Avoid parallel charging the batteries in cycle use. This When the batteries near the end their life (% state their initial duration time) the remaining life will shorten remarkably. Finally the batteries will lose their available capacity by either drying out their electrolyte (causing increase in their internal resistance) or an internal short-circuit. In such case, if the batteries go on charging, thermal runaway and/or leakage electrolyte may occur. The batteries should be replaced before reaching these conditions.

The deeper the is, the shorter the cycle life (smaller number cycles), providing the same current. The cycle life (number cycles) the battery is also related to such factors as the type the battery, charge method, ambient temperature, and rest period between charge and. Typical cycle-life characteristics the battery by different charge/ conditions are shown by the below figures. This data is typical and tested at a well-equipped laboratory. Cycle times are different for each battery model. Cycle times are also different from this data when using batteries under real conditions. b) Trickle (Float) life Trickle life the battery is largely dependent on the temperature condition the equipment in which the battery is used, and also related to the type the battery, charge and current.

Charging methods are dependent on battery applications and are roughly classified into main power applications and stand-by/back-up power applications. Classification by application () Main power source (Cycle use) () Stand-by power source (Trickle use) () Main Power cycle use Cycle use is to use the battery by repeated charging and discharging. (a) Standard charging (Normal charging) For common applications the battery, the constant charge method is advantageous as it allows the battery to exert full performance. This method is to charge the battery by applying a constant between the terminals. When the battery is charged by applying a. V per cell (unit battery) at a room temperature C to C, charging is complete when the charge current continues to be stable for three hours. Valve regulated lead-acid batteries can be overcharged without constant control. When the battery is overcharged, the water in the electrolyte is decomposed by electrolysis to generate more oxygen gas than what can be absorbed by the negative electrode. The electrolyte is changed to oxygen gas and hydrogen gas, and lost from the battery system. As the quantity electrolyte is reduced, the chemical reactions charge and become inefficient and hence the battery performance is severely deteriorated. Therefore, exact control and proper charging time in constant charging are essential for securing the expected life the battery. This method is to charge the battery by controlling the current at. CA and controlling the at. V / per cell at a room temperature C to C. Proper charging time is to hours depending on depth. (a) Standard charging (Normal charging) (b) Rapid charging (a) Trickle charging (b) Float charging Constant constant-current charge characteristics and charge current ~ current Time (hours) (b) Rapid charging When rapidly charging the battery, a large charge current is required in a short time for replenishing the energy which has been d. Therefore, some adequate measures such as the control charge current is required to prevent overcharging when the rapid charging is complete. Basic requirements for rapid charging are as follows: Sufficient charging should be made in a short time for fully replenishing the amount d. current should be automatically controlled to avoid overcharge even on prolonged charging. The battery should be charged adequately in the ambient temperature range C to C. Reasonable cycle life charge/ should be secured. Typical methods to control charging so as to satisfy the above requirements follow. Two-step constant charge control method uses two constant- devices. At the initial stage, the battery is charged by the first constant device SW() high setup (setup for cycle charge ). When the Valve Regulated Lead-Acid Batteries Valve Regulated Lead-Acid Batteries
s s charge current has reduced to the preset value, the device is switched over to the second SW() low set-up (setup for trickle charge ). This method has the advantage that the battery in trickle use can be charged in a comparatively short time for the next.

However, there are some risks when VRLAs are used beyond a reasonable replacement time span, misapplied or abused. There are two main failure mode VRLA battery used for trickle (float) application. In high temperatures and/or high charging, dry-out is accelerated. This leads to loss capacity and eventually the cell will fail open. Grid growth due to grid corrosion causes loss in mechanical strength and eventually leads to loss contact with the grid. should be replaced before these failures. If VRLA batteries are used after the end life, the grid growth may cause a crack container. Capillary action can result in a slight film conductive electrolyte forming around the crack even though VRLA batteries contain significantly lower volumes electrolyte and the electrolyte is immobilized. This electrolyte film will be in contact with an un-insulated metal component and this ground fault current could result in thermal runaway a portion the string or even a fire. And the grid growth may cause internal short between positive grid and negative strap in a cell. Continuing to charge a string cells when one or more the cells exhibit internal shorts, can result in thermal runaway. For example, assume a string cells is being charged at.v (.V/cell) and the string continues in operation with two cells shorted. In this situation the average charging on the remaining good cells is.v/cell. This will result in very high float current and cause thermal runaway. Figure is the mechanism above phenomena.

Study required specifications (draft) Study the required specifications (draft) by checking the requirements for the battery with the battery selection criteria. Technical requirements for selecting the battery are presented below. selection First, select several candidate batteries by referring to the technical brochures and data sheets the batteries presently available. Then from the candidates select a battery which can meet as many the ideal requirements as possible. In fact, however, battery selection can be seldom made so smoothly. Practically, possible removal or easing the requirements should be considered first; then depending on the result, a proper battery should be selected from those presently available.

The depth is generally expressed by the ratio amount to rated capacity the battery. DISCHARGE To draw f the electric energy stored in a cell/battery. DISCHARGE RATE The term to express the magnitude current. When assuming current and time to cut-f t hours, this is called t hour rate (thr), and the current is called t-hour rate current. When time t is minutes instead hours, tmr is used. DUTY CYCLE TEST Test batteries in ordinary use including charge, and rest. ELECTROLYTE The medium which serves to conduct ions in the electrochemical reactions in batteries. The leadacid battery adopts diluted sulfuric acid as the electrolyte. ENERGY DENSITY Energy available per unit or unit volume a cell/ battery. Energy density is expressed in Wh/kg or Wh/l. FLOAT CHARGE The system in which a constant is continuously applied to a battery connected to a rectifier in parallel with a load to maintain the battery in charged state: on occurrence power failure or load variation, the battery supplies power to the load without any short break. GAS RECOMBINATIONABILITY Capability a battery to recombine (or absorb) internally generated oxygen gas at the negative plate. The greater this capability is, the larger the available charge current. HIGH RATE DISCHARGE A very rapid a battery. (In many cases it means discharging at approx. CA or higher rate.) INTERNAL PRESSURE The pressure within a sealed battery. Internal pressure a battery is increased by oxygen gas which is generated from the positive plate at the end charging. INTERNAL RESISTANCE The resistance within a battery: it is the total individual resistances the electrolyte and the positive and negative plates. is simply measured with the current four-terminal method (, Hz) and expressed in the composite value resistance component and capacitor component. INTERNAL SHORT-CIRCUIT Touching the positive and negative plates within a cell. LIFE The time period until a cell/battery loses its expected characteristics. LOW MAINTENANCE Low maintenance means that no watering nor equalizing charge is required in operating batteries. LOW-VOLTAGE CUT-OFF A circuitry designed to discontinue a battery at a predetermined level. MALE TAB The metallic pieces which are attached to a SLA battery as the terminals. MEMORY EFFECT A phenomenon where a temporary drop is observed during deep an alkaline rechargeable battery which has been subjected to shallow charge/. Cycles or trickle charging over long time. NEGATIVE PLATE The battery electrode into which a current from the external circuit flows during discharging. The negative plate has lower electric potential than the positive plate to the electrolyte. The negative plate is incorporated with connection parts such as the electrode pole. RATED CAPACITY A nominal value capacity a cell/battery, which is a measure electric capability. Rated capacity is rather approximate compared with rated capacity. NOMINAL VOLTAGE A nominal value to indicate the a cell battery. Generally, nominal value a battery is somewhat lower than its electromotive force. the lead-acid battery is.v per unit cell. OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE Measured a cell/battery which is electrically disconnected from the external circuit. OVERCHARGE Continued charging a fully charged cell/battery. With batteries which require watering, overcharge causes electrolysis water, resulting in rapid decrease electrolyte. Generally, overcharge adversely influences battery life. OVERDISCHARGE a battery to a below a predetermined cut-f. PARALLEL CHARGE Simultaneous charging two or more batteries connected in parallel. In cyclic use batteries, specifically, the parallel charge tends to cause an imbalance in charge state among the batteries, which may shorten their service life. POLYPROPYLENE RESIN A plastic material which is ten used for the case and cover batteries. POSITIVE PLATE The battery electrode from which a current flows to the external circuit during discharging. The positive plate has higher electric potential than the negative plate to the electrolyte. The positive plate is incorporated with connection parts such as the electrode pole. QUICK CHARGE (RAPID CHARGE) Charging in a short time with a large current. RATED CAPACITY The stated capacity a battery; namely, the ampere-hour amount which can be drawn from the battery in fully charged state at a specified temperature, at a specified rate, and to a specified cutf. The symbol CN may be used to express the rated capacity N-hour rate. RECHARGEABLE BATTERY The rechargeable battery is a system comprising two different electrodes and an ion-conductive medium, which is capable converting chemical energy to electric energy, and vice versa. It is also called a secondary battery. REFRESH CHARGE (AUXILIARY CHARGE) Charging a battery mainly to compensate for its self. RESIDUAL CAPACITY Residual capacity a battery after partial or after storage for long time. RETAINER TYPE A method to control flowing electrolyte in a battery with the retainer mat, etc... REVERSE CHARGE Charging a battery with its polarity reversed. Namely, the battery s. SELF DISCHARGE Reduction in capacity a battery while no current is drawn by the external circuit. depends on temperature: amount approximately doubles by each ( C) rise ambient temperature.

TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION Compensation charge for temperature variation a cell/battery or in its vicinity. Qualitatively, charge should be corrected to higher side for low temperatures and to lower side for high temperatures. TERMINAL VOLTAGEAT DISCHARGE The a battery during discharging. THERMAL RUNAWAY Such phenomena as an excessively high set-up in constant charging a battery and a very high battery temperature cause charge current to increase, which then raises the temperature further: this vicious cycle is called thermal runaway, which may, in the worst case, result in breakage the battery due to heat. TRICKLE CHARGE To charge a battery in the state disconnection from the load to compensate for its self. TRICKLE LIFE The service life a battery in the trickle use. Usually, the trickle life is the time expressed in years before the able time the battery decreases to a half the initial value. UL Abbreviation Underwriters Laboratories Inc. in USA.
