Abstract
Batteries are essential for standalone solar
applications, where their amp-hour capacity determines overall performance.
This study evaluates the degradation of lead-acid batteries under simulated
field charging conditions. Using a battery testing device (Bitrode LCN),
multiple-step charging algorithms were applied to replicate real-world solar
energy patterns. Data was collected from various lead-acid battery models,
including 12V 40Ah and 12V 75Ah batteries. The results demonstrate that battery
capacity declines progressively over successive cycles, particularly under low
state-of-charge (SOC) conditions. The findings confirm that charging and
discharging patterns significantly impact battery longevity. This research
provides an in-depth analysis of battery behavior, offering recommendations for
improving battery lifespan in solar applications.
