3.1.
Available Capacity Vs. Ambient Temperature
Temperature affects capacity of the battery. Fig. 3-1 is the available capacity curve vs.
ambient temperature. if the temperature drops, the capacity will decrease, for example, the
capacity will decrease to 80% of rated capacity if temperature decreases from 25
℃
to 0
℃
; and
too low temperature will cause battery long term insufficient charged, also will cause no
discharge and negative plates sulfate.
Though VRLA battery can be operated at -15
℃
, the standard data is the test result at 25
℃
.
The capacity will increase when temperature raises. For example the capacity will increase
to 102% of rated capacity if temperature increase from 25
℃
to 50
℃
. But it will quicken plates’
corrosion and water loss if temperature raises, and shorten battery’s life.
