Three common SoC monitoring methods – voltage correlation, current integration, and Impedance Track are discussed. State of charge of lead acid battery is the ratio of the remaining capacity RC to the battery capacity FCC . The FCC (Q) is the usable capacity at the current discharge rate and temperature.
R DC must be compensated for a discharge current and temperature. Texas Instruments uses the Impedance Track method to determine SoC of lead acid batteries . While current off, the OCV is measured, which is used to determine the SoC and to update Q MAX. When discharging, both discharge current and voltage are measured.
Make certain that the battery does not “boil” or heat up during charge. Put an eye on the battery when charging above the manufacturer’s recommended C-rate. Watering is the single most important step in maintaining a flooded lead acid battery; a requirement that is all too often neglected.
Abstract. The traditional methods of charging lead-acid batteries depend on stabilizing the current or voltage through simple electronic circuits, which causes the shorten the life of the batteries due to damage to the electrodes or the hot and dry batteries.
Test show that a heathy lead acid battery can be charged at up to 1.5C as long as the current is moderated towards a full charge when the battery reaches about 2.3V/cell (14.0V with 6 cells). Charge acceptance is highest when SoC is low and diminishes as the battery fills.
The charge time is 12–16 hours and up to 36–48 hours for large stationary batteries. With higher charge currents and multi-stage charge methods, the charge time can be reduced to 8–10 hours; however, without full topping charge. Lead acid is sluggish and cannot be charged as quickly as other battery systems. (See BU-202: New Lead Acid Systems)
BU-403: Charging Lead Acid
The lead acid battery uses the constant current constant voltage (CCCV) charge method. A regulated current raises the terminal voltage until the upper charge voltage limit is reached, at which point the current drops due to saturation. The charge time is 12–16 hours and up to 36–48 hours for large stationary batteries. With higher charge ...
