- 15. Battery Sizing Considerations Average Discharge Current Average Discharge Voltage used for calculating Average Discharge Current 45 VDC is a good value (42- 48)/2=45VDC If the load is 1000 ADC at Float (54 VDC), the load at 45 VDC is 1000*54/45 = 1200 ADC USE THIS VALUE TO SIZE YOUR BATTERY CSI Telecommunications 15 Engineers
- 16. Battery Disconnect Notgenerally used in the telecom industry. If used, it should be 2-pole to completely isolate the battery. Each string should have a separate disconnect so one failure will not fail the plant. CSI Telecommunications 16 Engineers
