Does battery age affect charge/discharge characteristics?

Therefore, a tradeoff magnitude of charging current and health of battery will have to be found by future charge controller designers in order to safely increase charging current while protecting the battery from thermal run away. The paper also shows that the age of the battery plays a vital role in charge/discharge characteristics of batteries.

Does constant charging current affect charge/discharge efficiency in lead acid batteries?

In this paper, the impact of high constant charging current rates on the charge/discharge efficiency in lead acid batteries was investigated upon, extending the range of the current regimes tested from the range [0.5A, 5A] to the range [1A, 8A].

How does current draw affect battery energy capacity?

Based on these results, current draw and temperature differences have an influence over the effective battery energy capacity of common AAA batteries. Larger discharge currents consistently led to a lower measurable, starting voltage and faster overall drain. The batteries also showed a difference in the overall total energy output.

Does the magnitude of charge current affect the efficiency of battery charging?

The authors concluded that the higher the magnitude of charging current in lead acid batteries, the higher will be the efficiency of the charging process. The authors conducted the experiments on Vanbo DG121000 12 V 100 Ah battery (20 h) .

How long can a battery be discharged?

Maximum 30-sec Discharge Pulse Current –The maximum current at which the battery can be discharged for pulses of up to 30 seconds. This limit is usually defined by the battery manufacturer in order to prevent excessive discharge rates that would damage the battery or reduce its capacity.
