FOR12VBATTERY:
500Ah÷0.8=625Ah(notethattheactualenergyrequiredbytheloadwas300Ah).
FOR24VBATTERY:
250Ah÷0.8=312.5Ah(Notethattheactualenergyrequiredwas150Ah).
It will be seen from the above that the fi nal rated capacity of the batteries is almost
2 times the energy required by the load in Ah. Thus, as a Rule of Thumb, the Ah
capacity of the batteries should be twice the energy required by the load in Ah.
7.17 CHARGING BATTERIES
Batteries can be charged by using good quality AC powered battery charger or from
alternativeenergysourceslikesolarpanels,windorhydrosystems.Makesureanap-
propriate Battery Charge Controller is used. It is recommended that batteries may be
chargedat10%to13%oftheirAhcapacity(AhcapacitybasedonC-Rateof20Hr
DischargeTime).Also,forcompletecharging(returnof100%capacity)ofSealedLead
AcidBattery,itisrecommendedthata3StageChargermaybeused(ConstantCurrent
BulkChargingStage} Constant Voltage Boost / Absorption Charging } Constant Voltage
float Charging).
In case, Wet Cell / flooded Batteries are being used, a 4-stage charger is recommended
(ConstantCurrentBulkChargingStage} Constant Voltage Boost / Absorption Stage }
Constant Voltage Equalization Stage } Constant Voltage float Stage).
