This work carries out a detailed investigation on the effects of rest time on the discharge response and the parameters of the Thevenin's equivalent circuit model for a lead acid battery. Traditional methods for battery modeling require a long rest time before a discharging test so that a steady state is reached for the open circuit voltage.
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.
The specific gravity decreases as the battery discharges and increases to its normal, original value as it is charged. Since specific gravity of a lead-acid battery decreases proportionally during discharge, the value of specific gravity at any given time is an approximate indication of the battery’s state of charge.
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.
Figure 4 : Chemical Action During Discharge When a lead-acid battery is discharged, the electrolyte divides into H 2 and SO 4 combine with some of the oxygen that is formed on the positive plate to produce water (H 2 O), and thereby reduces the amount of acid in the electrolyte.
As a lead-acid battery is charged in the reverse direction, the action described in the discharge is reversed. The lead sulphate (PbSO 4) is driven out and back into the electrolyte (H 2 SO 4). The return of acid to the electrolyte will reduce the sulphate in the plates and increase the specific gravity.
