The hydrometer offers an alternative to measuring SoC of flooded lead acid batteries. Here is how it works: When the lead acid battery accepts charge, the sulfuric acid gets heavier, causing the specific gravity (SG) to increase.
Here is how it works: When the lead acid battery accepts charge, the sulfuric acid gets heavier, causing the specific gravity (SG) to increase. As the SoC decreases through discharge, the sulfuric acid removes itself from the electrolyte and binds to the plate, forming lead sulfate.
If the voltage reading is lower than the manufacturer’s specifications, the battery may be weak and need to be replaced. If the voltage reading is within the manufacturer’s specifications, the battery is likely in good condition. To get a more accurate reading of a lead-acid battery’s health, you can use a hydrometer.
However, lead-acid batteries can suffer from a number of issues that can affect their performance and lifespan. For example, they can become sulfated if they are not charged properly, which can lead to a loss of capacity and a shorter lifespan. They can also suffer from corrosion, which can damage the electrodes and reduce their effectiveness.
Each battery chemistry delivers its own unique discharge signature. While voltage-based SoC works reasonably well for a lead acid battery that has rested, the flat discharge curve of nickel- and lithium-based batteries renders the voltage method impracticable.
While voltage-based SoC works reasonably well for a lead acid battery that has rested, the flat discharge curve of nickel- and lithium-based batteries renders the voltage method impracticable. The discharge voltage curves of Li-manganese, Li-phosphate and NMC are very flat, and 80 percent of the stored energy remains in the flat voltage profile.
The aging mechanisms of lead-acid batteries change the electrochemical characteristics. For example, sulfation influences the active surface area, and corrosion increases the resistance. Therefore, it is expected that the state of …
