Implementing a useful battery assessment system at low cost

Nov , 22 2021

In the battery system industry, some companies provide charger and battery systems to smaller, mission-critical applications; for some years, it has been clear that reducing the impact of battery failure is the best way to increase the user’s overall system reliability. In contrast to power electronics that can achieve MTBF in the range of 1 million hours, all VRLA batteries will fail between “now...

What type of Battery assessment is suited for GENSET applications?

Nov , 27 2021

Lead-acid battery monitoring technology has matured to the point where the IEEE issued a standard (IEEE 1491) in 2005 to describe the various battery health assessment methods. Most large data centers, for example, spend tens of thousands of dollars for battery monitoring equipment designed to predict whether their UPS batteries will work. Data centers with downtime costs of six figures per minute...

How to implement battery monitoring in a deployable product?

Nov , 27 2021

Standalone ohmic battery monitoring systems designed for data center application are not suited for a genset environment. Although ohmic monitors work, they are expensive (estimated at $2,000 for a 24-volt system), time-consuming to install, and require trained personnel to interpret their data output. To achieve widespread adoption in the genset market any battery monitoring technology will need ...

What is the right duration of Phase 2 of a charging cycle?

Nov , 27 2021

The duration of Phase 1 is determined by the battery’s depth of discharge, the ratio of charger ampacity to battery capacity, and whether there are parasitic DC loads connected to the system. Although the duration of Phase 1 does vary, we are not concerned with this variation since, once the battery capacity, charger output, and DC loads are installed, we have no means to change the duration of Ph...

Shortcomings of automatic boost timers (Method C) and current‐sensing automatic systems (Method D)

Nov , 27 2021

In the automatic timer control scheme, the duration of the boost charger is pre‐programmed into the charger’s control system. Chargers equipped with automatic boost timers may, under very specific circumstances, provide just the right duration of boost charging. Under all other circumstances, however, such as a different depth of discharge, or when the connected DC load changes, the pre‐programmed...

Why Boost Charging is Necessary?

Dec , 06 2021

Boost charging is a very necessary activity during the operation of a VRLA battery in their life time. In this article we are going to discuss about the necessity of Boost charging in details. The following example helps illustrate two facts about reducing battery recharge time: Cutting recharge time in half is more complex than using a charger that delivers twice as many amperes. Multi‐rate charg...

NiCd versus Lead Acid Starter Batteries for Generator Systems

Dec , 10 2021

Apart from a few special applications that use mechanical cranking, such as spring starters, the greatest percentage of generator set systems utilize 12-volt or 24-volt starter motors. For prime power and standby applications, the two most commonly used battery types are lead acid or nickel cadmium (NiCd). This article discusses the differences between NiCd and Lead Acid starter batteries for gene...

What is a portable power station?

Dec , 24 2021

A portable power station provides an individual with an easy source of energy to use wherever they are. If you spend a lot of time outdoors and you’d like to have some energy available to use while you do, then purchasing one of these devices could be a great decision. A portable power station is like a generator that’s easier to use and maintain. These devices include rechargeable batteries ...

3 Reasons to Choose Energy Storage over a Generator during Fire & Hurricane Season: Reason-1

Jan , 10 2022

Past 2 years will stand out in the history books as years that forced us to radically rethink (and adjust) the status quo. As we go into summer, the stability of our electricity grid will be put to the test when many of us are spending most of our time at home. Fire season will begin shortly in different places, with utilities sending out messages about public safety power shutoffs. On the East Co...
