NiCd versus Lead Acid Starter Batteries for Generator Systems

Dec , 10 2021

Apart from a few special applications that use mechanical cranking, such as spring starters, the greatest percentage of generator set systems utilize 12-volt or 24-volt starter motors. For prime power and standby applications, the two most commonly used battery types are lead acid or nickel cadmium (NiCd). This article discusses the differences between NiCd and Lead Acid starter batteries for gene...

Characteristics of Lead Acid and Nickel Cadmium Batteries for Generator starting application

Dec , 10 2021

The charger strips electrons from the cathode leaving it with a net positive charge and forces those electrons onto the anode giving it a negative charge. The energy pumped into the cell transforms the active chemicals back to their original state. The generator set industry primarily uses an automatic type battery charger for standby applications. The system designer selects the battery type on i...

What is the Life Expectancy of a Lithium Battery for a stationary application?

Dec , 10 2021

One of the key attractions for moving to lithium batteries is the battery life being multiples of what is possible with lead-acid batteries. Yet, with limited operating data in UPS applications available today, it’s natural for potential users to question how long lithium batteries will actually last. To address this question, it’s necessary to first understand how lithium battery packs degrade un...

Seven good reason for installing a Battery monitoring system

Dec , 17 2021

A battery management system allows users to monitor individual cells within a battery pack. As cells work together to release energy to the load, it is crucial to maintain stability throughout the whole pack. This is where a battery management system (BMS) comes into play. A BMS allows for constant monitoring, gathering, and communicating information to an external interface where users can observ...

The need for a UPS

Mar , 28 2022

There is a common misconception that the utility power we use, except for occasional power outages, is continuous and constant, but it is not. As a public power grid, the mains system is connected to thousands of various loads. Some of the larger inductive, capacitive, switching power supplies and other loads not only obtain power from the power grid, but also cause damage to the power grid itself...
