Ways to Properly Charge Stationary Lead-Acid Batteries
After hundreds of site visits, multiple battery systems tests, and the examination of numerous maintenance records, I would say that almost 50 percent of all stationary lead-acid batteries are not being properly charged. Constant-Current Charging: Not generally used for stationary batteries except during the manufacturing process. Constant-Potential / Constant Voltage Charging: Used in ...

Why Do We Need Battery Monitoring If We Do Discharge Testing?
Introduction This is a question that is often asked, and the answer is relatively simple. A discharge test measures the capacity of the battery and a battery monitoring system is a maintenance tool. Let me explain further. The Importance of Capacity Testing A lead acid battery is a collection of lead-based electrochemical cells, each with a nominal voltage of 2 Volts, assembled in series to ...

Fiber Optic Testing Helps Ensure EV Battery Health and Safety
EVs face unique design challenges in order to be competitive with gasoline-powered vehicles. The root of many of these challenges is in the EV battery pack. Drivers want similar vehicle range per charge when compared to a tank of gas, as well as the convenience they are used to with refilling a tank in just a few minutes. This means battery packs need to be able to store enough energy to go ...

Using the EA8000 X-Ray analyser to improve lithium ion battery performance and reliability
The EA8000 X-Ray Particle Contaminant Analyser is designed to help lithium ion battery (LiB) manufacturers improve the safety, performance and yield of their product. The analyser is engineered to rapidly detect and analyse unwanted metal particles within the battery. These particles are known to cause sudden catastrophic failure of the batteries, often accompanied by fire or explosion. The ...
