PbC® Battery Characteristics: The PbC battery has significantly higher charge acceptance (10-20x) compared to lead–acid batteries. The Dynamic Micro Hybrid Test (DMHT) is commonly used to assess battery charge acceptance and cycle life in partial state-of-charge situations, and it can be used for bench-marking battery performance for any application requiring such conditions. As shown in the figure to the left, the PbC battery maintains maximum Dynamic Charge Acceptance on the DMHT cycle protocol for over 100,000 cycles. The battery eventually reaches end-of-life due to positive plate sulfation, which gradually increases the end-of-charge voltage and decreases end of discharge voltage. Traditional VRLA batteries degrade quickly (left), showing an increased charge acceptance advantage of PbC up to 20x after only 9 months of equivalent drive time. The PbC battery cycles longer than conventional lead–acid batteries showing a significant increase in capacity retention, regardless of DOD. While the average discharge energy out of the PbC battery is less than that of the VRLA battery, the total energy output is greater due to the increased number of cycles achieved (see graph at bottom left). The PbC battery also exhibits low module to module variation when connected in series strings. This is because batteries (or cells) at a lower state-of-charge can recharge faster than batteries at a higher state-of-charge, ultimately resulting in a mechanism for self-equalization. Shown in the graph (bottom right) below, three batteries at varying states of charge will normalize within 10-12 cycles.

Charging a PbC® Battery Module Using the profile depicted below, the PbC battery’s unique properties allow them to be fully charged from 100% DOD within 5 hours once the maximum charge voltage has been reached. The minimum inrush current (initial current before the battery reaches its maximum charging voltage) should be 0.4C10, though higher currents are recommended if possible. C10 is the 10-hour current (the current that the battery can discharge for 10 hours). Once the voltage reaches the limit of 13.5V for 12V models (18.0V for 16V models), or 2.25 volts per cell, the battery should be held at that voltage for 5 more hours or until 105% charge return is reached to ensure full capacity return. Total charge time should not exceed 8 hours. Upon receipt of new batteries, it is suggested that each battery be “conditioned” prior to measurement and testing. Conditioning protocol is a simple discharge to 3.6V for 12V models (4.8V for 16V models) at any discharge rate less than or equal to C/1. Then recharge by the standard method described above.
PbC battery charge profile
The recommended charge algorithm for PbC battery strings is a multi-step constant current charge outlined in row 1 on the table below. Each step lasts until one battery reaches 13.5V for 12V modules (18.0V for 16V modules). As the steps are completed, the batteries at lower SOC will begin to catch up to the batteries at higher SOC in the string. At this point the batteries are ready to use. If the string is not to be used immediately, then the following periodic float charge algorithm shown in row 2 on the table below should be employed. This serves the same purpose as float charging in traditional VRLA string applications. It is recommended for when the string voltage drops below an average of the nominal voltage of the individual modules in the string (12V or 16V depending on module used).

Because the PbC battery is a combination of lead-acid and super capacitor technologies, the device exhibits a higher rate of self-discharge compared to industry standard VRLA products, but the rate of discharge remains much lower than that of super capacitors. Like other battery technologies, however, the rate of self-discharge is directly impacted by the storage temperature. It is recommended that all PbC batteries be stored at the lowest possible temperature to ensure optimum energy retention and extended shelf-life.
