An Analytical Description of Lead Acid Battery Recharging Procedures

Abstract

Mathematical treatment of battery recharging characteristics to derive descriptive formulae or algorithms permits handling by calculation the diverse problems connected with a recharging procedure. This refers to the peak charging current, to the charging duration at different rectifier characteristics, to the rectifier rating, ard the effect of charge-voltage changing upon the charge duration, which usually up to now will be found out more or less successfully by use of curve spreads or tables (sometimes stored in a computer memory).
