How do you calculate the discharge of a battery?

The discharge of a battery provides you with methods of calculating other values such as capacitance and the discharge rate constant. For a given charge given off by a battery, the battery's capacitance (not to be confused with capacity, as discussed earlier) C is given by C = Q/V for a given voltage V.

How to charge a discharged battery?

The discharged battery requires quick charging (to 28.8 V) which is higher level than the load tolerance of 26. 4 V. To do this, the battery + terminal is disconnected from the float charger (hence also from the load) & connected to a separate boost charger to fully charge it to 28.8 V.

How do I properly discharge the battery?

Discharge the battery with pulses of 1% of capacity from 100% to 90% SOC at 1C rate and allow for one-hour rest periods between pulses. 4. In the 90% to 10% SOC range, discharge the battery by 5% capacity steps at 1C rate and allow for four hours rest between cycles.

Do battery dischargers need to be grounded?

The cabinet of the battery discharger must be properly grounded to protect personnel against hazard of electrical shock in case of fault on the discharger! The grounding conductor must have a current carrying capacity equal or higher than the current carrying capacity of the AC-input wires.

Are battery dischargers dangerous?

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS GENERAL Battery dischargers can cause injury or death, or damage to other equipment or property, if the user does not strictly observe all safety rules and take precautionary actions.
