Ripple currents in a battery are primarily caused by a poorly designed or faulty UPS or an inadequate filter in the charger. (Fig 2) A poorly designed or faulty UPS can cause ripple currents by taking ‘bites’ of current from the DC link. One of the prime sources of ripple in a battery system is the charger.
The effect of ripple current on the battery depends on its size and frequency. If the frequency is high, over 5kHz for example, and the battery voltage response cannot follow the ripple current, i.e., there is little or no ripple voltage visible to a measuring device, then it would seem there is little deleterious effect.
An informative annex on the subject of Ripple Voltage and Current was also written for IEEE 1491. This is currently Annex A. In the Overview it states that “Ripple voltage and the resulting ripple current imposed on a battery DC bus can have an adverse effect on the battery and electronic equipment connected to the battery.
High ripple voltage could also lead to damage of the battery cells from either heating, gassing, or cycling.” And “The normal level of ripple voltage for each system must be individually determined by initial and ongoing measured values. Consult the battery manufacturer for the upper limit of ripple voltage.
This is currently Annex A. In the Overview it states that “Ripple voltage and the resulting ripple current imposed on a battery DC bus can have an adverse effect on the battery and electronic equipment connected to the battery. Consequently, this ripple should be taken into consideration when monitoring a battery.
In its conclusion, the white paper states that “Analysis and subsequent battery testing demonstrates that the heating effects of battery ripple current can be predicted. Furthermore, at battery ripple current level of approximately 3 times the recommended, the heating effect is minimal, typically less than 1 ° F.
