Batteries are often the most expensive and most fragile constituents of an electrical conversion system. Hence, it is important to take care of them through proper use and monitoring.
Lead acid batteries are very fragile. They are sensitive to overcharging, partial charging, deep discharges, excessively rapid charges, and to temperatures above 20°C. All these factors can lead to premature aging, mainly due to a combination of lack of technical knowledge, poorly- sized systems and erroneous use by a person. If one does not control these factors, the batteries will be damaged quickly.
The damage will result in reduced battery life and, in some cases, there could be irreparable deterioration. Batteries will last longer when used properly, leading to fewer replacements. In the long run, one can make considerable savings. Another interesting aspect is that the conversion system will be more efficient if the batteries are in a good condition. The better the batteries’ condition, the more efficient the installation will be.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to properly use and maintain lead-acid batteries.
