Determining the state of health of lead acid batteries is complex and expensive. The open circuit voltage of batteries and their energy recovery ability were exploited. Higher energy recovery capabilities for batteries indicated better state of health. Higher open circuit voltage decrease indicated a bad state of health. 1. Introduction
Lead acid batteries typically have coloumbic efficiencies of 85% and energy efficiencies in the order of 70%. Depending on which one of the above problems is of most concern for a particular application, appropriate modifications to the basic battery configuration improve battery performance.
Series of experiments were carried out on four lead acid batteries, batteries A, B, C and D, involving charge, discharge, OCV and recovery phases. It was noticed that the open circuit voltage of a lead acid battery after solicitation and their energy recovered after a discharge can be used to decipher how healthy a battery is.
Nevertheless, it should be clearly understood that wet (filled) lead acid battery is “a live” product. Whether it is in storage or in service, it has a finite life. All batteries once filled will slowly self discharge. The higher the storage temperature and humidity of the storage area, the greater the rate of self discharge.
It was demonstrated that the magnitudes of open circuit voltage and energy recovery of lead acid battery have relationships with the health status of the battery which if well exploited, can lead to innovations in the science of state of health determination for lead acid batteries.
The technical challenges facing lead–acid batteries are a consequence of the complex interplay of electrochemical and chemical processes that occur at multiple length scales. Atomic-scale insight into the processes that are taking place at electrodes will provide the path toward increased efficiency, lifetime, and capacity of lead–acid batteries.
