NICD BATTERY PULSE CHARGER CIRCUIT SERIES

Selecting the appropriate charging method for your sealed lead acid battery depends on the intended use (cyclic or float service), economic considerations, recharge time, anticipated frequency and depth of discharge (DoD), and expected service life. Here, charging is continuous and the peak charge voltage must be lower. Typical characteristics for standby service type battery charge. There are two criteria for determining when a battery is fully charged: (1) the final current level and (2) the peak charging voltage while this current flows. The battery is fully charged once the current stabilizes at a low level for a few hours. BATTERY CHARGING CHARACTERISTICSĭuring constant voltage or taper charging, the battery’s current acceptance decreases as voltage and state of charge increase. A constant voltage charge, therefore, allows detection of this voltage increase and thus control of the current charge amount.

As the battery reaches full charge, the positive plate begins generating dioxide causing a sudden rise in voltage due to decreasing internal resistance. After some time, however, it should level off.ĭuring charge, the lead sulfate of the positive plate becomes lead dioxide. Depending on the state of charge (SoC), the cell may temporarily be lower after discharge than the applied voltage. To charge a sealed lead acid battery, a DC voltage between 2.30 volts per cell (float) and 2.45 volts per cell (fast) is applied to the terminals of the battery. To obtain maximum battery service life and capacity, along with acceptable recharge time and economy, constant voltage-current limited charging is best.

Sealed lead acid batteries may be charged by using any of the following charging techniques:

This means we recommend using a sealed lead acid battery charger, like the the A-C series of SLA chargers from Power Sonic, when charging a sealed lead acid battery. Power Sonic recommends you select a charger designed for the chemistry of your battery. The selection of a suitable SLA battery charger and the methods used to charge it is just as important as choosing the right battery for the application. Following incorrect charging procedures or using inadequate charging equipment can result in decreased battery life and/or poor battery performance. Dependable performance and long service life of your sealed lead acid battery will depend upon correct battery charging.
