3 performance factors you must consider when sizing batteries

Posted 4:13 pm by aps2016 & filed under News.

Sizing batteries correctly Batteries need to be sized correctly to be able to feed the required load for the required time, and a number of factors need to be decided to be able to optimize the battery for the duty expected. Some of these factors are fixed within the chemistry of each type of cell… Read more »

Definitioner

Acid: A proton donor. A compound containing hydrogen which dissociates in aqueous solution producing positively charged hydrogen ions (H+). An acidic solution has a pH less than 7.0
Battery: Two or more electrochemical energy cells connected together to provide electrical energy.
Cell: A closed electrochemical power source. The minimum unit of a battery.
Charge: The process of replenishing or replacing the electrical charge in a rechargeable cell or battery.
Cycle: A single charge and discharge of a battery.
Duty Cycle: The load current or power a battery is expected to supply for specified time periods.
Impedance: A measure of the response of an electric circuit to an electric current. The actual value is frequency dependent. The current is opposed by the capacitance, inductance and resistance of the circuit.
Nominal voltage: Used to indicate the voltage of a battery. Since most discharge curves are neither linear nor flat, a typical value is generally taken which is close to the voltage during actual use.
