A research task was undertaken to evaluate the behavior of Ni Cad batteries under extreme temperature conditions. Identical tests were repeatedly performed in order to record the spread of terminal voltages and discharge capacity during (a) initial conditions, (b) after several charge/discharge cycles, and (c) under different temperature conditions. The test proved that significant degradation of...
The stationary lead acid battery is the dominating power reserve for telecommunications by reason of their high reliability which could be demonstrated in the past. Lead acid batteries can easily be recharged, methods for the conservation of the charge are even very simple. The required capacity and number of cells in correspondence to the specified time can easily be calculated. The following requirements...
Lead-acid storage batteries are a vital part of any UPS installation. They supply the emergency power to the load in the event commercial power is interrupted or lost. Today's UPS batteries are specifically designed for their intended applications and differ significantly from those used in communication and switchgear service. Design considerations include plate thickness, separator and retainer...
Long-life battery systems are discussed in this paper as a cost effective standby power source for data retention in volatile memory systems. Continuing development of these power sources has resulted in batteries to satisfy many of the memory backup needs in the rapidly expanding microprocessor and minicomputer applications field, especially with random access memories based on CMOS and other low...
Sealed, spirally wound construction utilizing pure lead plates offers significant advantages in lead-acid cell life, safety and discharge characteristics. A starved electrolyte condition and 100% efficient oxygen recombination effectively eliminates water loss for long, maintenance-free float life. Totally absorbed electrolyte and minimal gas venting offer total positional flexibility and improved...
This paper will describe some of the problems that arise when attempting to charge secondary storage batteries, of the lead-acid type, from an energy source such as a photovoltaic array. A description of the means generally used to charge a lead-acid. battery in a standard photovoltaic system is given, and a proposed series regulator "smart" type system which may be used to improve battery...
Battery characteristics including charge and discharge at rates of C/100 and as low as C/500 which correspond to rates for solar applications are presented. Discharge at low rates gave up to 25% over actual capacity (42% above rated capacity). Excellent results for both charging and discharging, the lower temperature derating for cold weather installations compared to lead acid, low self-discharge...
This paper will describe a power system configuration that provides improved energy efficiency for telephone power plants. This is accomplished by supplying the plant load with a voltage lower than typically used. The approach will be explained using a standard configuration for a +24 volt (12 cells per string) battery plant. The following points will be emphasized: - Circuitry necessary to maintain...
