Choosing the Right Charger for Lead-Acid Batteries The most important first step in charging a lead-acid battery is selecting the correct charger. Lead-acid batteries come in different types, including flooded (wet), absorbed glass mat (AGM), and gel batteries. Each type has specific charging requirements regarding voltage and current levels.
The various parameters such as ensuring battery full-service life, temperature rise, and gas evolution during charge, state of charge (SOC), charging efficiency in AH and WH, and charging time are to be considered when designing a battery charger.
Temperature Control: Ideally, lead-acid batteries should be charged at temperatures below 80°F (27°C). Charging at high temperatures can lead to thermal runaway, where the battery overheats and becomes damaged. If your battery becomes hot to the touch during charging, stop the process immediately and allow it to cool. 4. Avoiding Overcharging
ery life and safety.of overcharging is excessive gassing. Some gassing naturally occurs during normal charging, but when a lead acid battery is overcharged, the electrolyte solution can overheat, causing hydrogen and oxy en gasses to form, increasing pressure inside the battery. Unsealed flooded lead acid batteries use venting technology
Lead acid batteries typically have coloumbic efficiencies of 85% and energy efficiencies in the order of 70%. Depending on which one of the above problems is of most concern for a particular application, appropriate modifications to the basic battery configuration improve battery performance.
excessive gassing.Effective and Safe Multi-Stage ChargingMulti-stage charging is the safest and mos effective method of charging flooded lead acid batteries. The electrolyte solution has phases of accept-ing a full and complete charge – multi-stage charging accommodates those p ases and helps to prevent sulfation and excessive gassi
