The internal resistance of the battery is a dynamic nonlinear parameter that is continuously changed along with the temperature and discharge state. The internal resistance is the lowest when Ares series battery is fully charged. The table 2‐3 shows the internal resistance and short circuit current of Narada battery in fully charged state according to IEC60896. If the voltage decrease 0V due to short circuit that can damage the battery. ...
Operation manual for Ares(Tubular gel) series Chapter Three Operation and Maintenance 1. Setting Up The Parameters Below is the table for data set up on Switch power. Discharge times and DOD vary in different circumstance. In some frequent power off places, batteries are discharged a lot without sufficient charge, so we need to raise float voltage and current to make battery full charged in a short time.

Operation manual for Ares(Tubular gel) series voltage is lower, the battery can’t be kept in fully charged state, this will cause sulfation decrease the capacity, and also shorten the life of the battery The float voltage is 2.23V/cell to 2.25V/cell . and temperature compensation coefficient is‐3mV/℃ per cell. The battery need an equalization charge regularly. The equalization voltage is 2.35V at 25℃. Meanwhile, the equalization voltage should adjust with the ambient temperature. The temperature compensation coefficient is ‐5mV/℃ per cell. Table 3‐3 Relationship of ambient temperature and voltage Ambient Equalization voltage Temperature Float voltage(V/cell)...
Operation manual for Ares(Tubular gel) series It’s liable to harm battery or even cause heat run away when heat accumulates. If temperature is too high, it must decrease temperature by using air conditioner or providing good ventilation. Please leave over 10mm between batteries and the ground. Meanwhile, adjust the float voltage and equalization voltage according to manual. 4. Choose Battery Please select batteries’ capacity according to Fig. 3‐3 Selection Curve of Cell Type. 1) First confirm end voltage. e.g., required end voltage is 1.80V/cell. 2) Confirm the continual working time and discharge current. E.g., the continual working time is 3 hours, and the discharge current is 125A .You should choose the minimum capacity is 7OPzV 500(GFMJ‐500) 3) Confirm the environmental When the ambient temperature is 25℃, you should choose 7OPzV 500. Or you should confirm the temperature coefficient according to the Fig.3‐1. If the temperature is below 0℃, there leaves 80% capacity compared with that at 25℃.Then you should divide by 0.8. ...
Batteries will experience self‐discharge in open circuit. The result is that the voltage of open circuit is decreased, and the capacity also decreased. During storage please note: a. The self‐discharge rate is related with ambient temperature. The self‐discharge degree is smaller when the ambient temperature is lower, otherwise is larger. The requirement temperature of Narada polymer batteries’ storage environment is from 0℃ to 35℃. The storage place must be clean, ventilated and dry. b. An important parameter in storage is open circuit voltage, which is related with density of the electrolyte. In order to avoid permanent damage to the plate caused by self‐discharge, the ...
