3. Capacity – Χωρητικοτητα
BATTERRY CHARACTERISTICS 2
• The coulometric capacity, the total Amp-hours available when the battery is
discharged at a certain discharge Current (specified as a C-rate) from 100
percent state-of-charge to the cut-off voltage .
• Capacity is calculated by multiplying the discharge current (in Amps) by the
discharge time (in hours) and decreases with increasing C-rate
4. The terminal EMF provided by a battery is known as it’s voltage.
The Voltage of a battery depends upon various other characteristics of the
batteries like cell-chemistry , internal impedance etc.
The average Voltage of a lead acid cell is 2.0 V
Βut it depends on various other factors like , temperature, time between
the measurement and last charge etc.
Voltage – Ονοματικη ταση
BATTERRY CHARACTERISTICS 1
5. Efficiency of a battery is the ratio of the energy provided by the battery/cell
or output energy while in use over the energy used by the battery/cell to
get charged or input energy expressed in percentage.
Efficiency - Αποδοση
BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS 3
6. • The minimum allowable voltage .It is this voltage that generally defines the
“empty” state of the battery
Cut-off Voltage, Ελαχιστη ταση λειτουργειας
BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS 4
7. • The number of discharge- charge cycles the battery can experience before it
fails to meet specific performance criteria.
• Cycle life is estimated for specific charge and discharge conditions. The
actual operating life of the battery is affected by the rate and depth of cycles
and by other conditions such as temperature and humidity.

8. The energy density of a battery is generally expressed in two ways
The gravimetric energy density of a battery is a measure of how much energy a
battery contains in comparison to its weight, and is typically expressed in Watt-
hours/kilogram(W-hr/kg).
The volumetric energy density of a battery is a measure of how much energy a
battery contains in comparison to its volume, and is typically expressed in Watt-
hours/liter(W-hr/l).
BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS 7
Energy Density (By Weight and Volume) – Πυκνοτητα Ενεργειας
9. The maximum current at which the battery
can be discharged Continuously.
This limit is usually Defined by the battery
manufacturer in order to prevent excessive
discharge rates that would damage the
battery or reduce its capacit y.
Along with the maximum continuous power
of the motor, this defines the top
sustainable speed and accelerat ion of the
vehicle
Maximum Continuous Discharge- Μεγιστο συνεχομενο

10. The voltage that the battery is charged to when charged to full capacity.
Charging schemes generally consist of a constant current charging until the
battery voltage
Reaching the charge voltage, then constant voltage charging, Allowing the
charge current to taper until it is very small
Charge Voltage – Ταση φορτισης
BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS 8
11. BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS 9
The ideal current at which the battery is initially charged (to roughly 70 percent
SOC) under constant Charging scheme before transitioning into constant
Voltage charging.
(Recommended) Charge Current - Ρευμα φορτισης
12. BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS 10
• Batteries are acutely sensitive to operating temperature with respect to
their charging characteristics and A-hr capacity.
• Most well-designed chargers have temperature sensors to assure that the
battery temperature is within the allowable "window" for charging (if not,
the charger will not turn on the current source)

13. BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS 11
• Self-discharge (which occurs in all batteries) determines the "shelf life" of a
battery.
• It is important to note that self-discharge is highly dependent on
temperature, increasing as the battery temperature is increased
Self Discharge < Χρονος αυτοεκφορτισης
15. BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS 12
• The amount of time that the typical consumer finds acceptable for battery
recharging is highly variable, and depends on the item being powered..
Recharge Time > Χρονος φορτισης
16. BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS 13
• It should be no surprise that the Ni-Cd cell offers the best cost/performance
value of any rechargeable battery: it is a mature technology that is being
produced in large volumes by many different manufacturers.
Cost- Κοστος
17. BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS 14
• A 1C discharge rate would deliver the battery's rated capacity in 1 hour. A
2C discharge rate means it will discharge twice as fast (30 minutes). .

Depth of Discharge (DOD) (%)
The percentage of battery capacity
that has been discharged
expressed as a percentage of
maximum capacity. A discharge to
at least 80 % DOD is referred to
as a deep discharge
20. The voltage between the battery terminals with load applied.
Terminal voltage varies with SOC and discharge/charge current.

These are the most common types of batteries
powering devices you use everyday.
•Some are rechargeable, you can plug them in to
charge and get multiple uses before the battery needs
to be replaced.
•Some are non-rechargeable or single-use, once they
are fully discharged, they should be recycled.

discharged a large amount of times. If done properly, these batteries can
be charged more times than other rechargeable chemistries.
When not to use:

These batteries often contain more energy, more resilience, and offer a lower
number of cycles than NiCd batteries.
When to use:
If a high discharge current is needed, such as in cordless power tools.
If the charging procedure is not known. For example, if the battery may be
charged when it is at half capacity, this would be detrimental for NiCd batteries
but would be fine for NiMh batteries.
When not to use:
•If long life span is needed. The advertised life of NiMh batteries are typically
fewer than 1000 cycles.
•If a product is going to be recharged daily, the life of a battery may not last
longer than a few years.
