AbstractThe study concerns the circuit designing, assembling of a constant current battery test bed and characterise the performance of SLI type battery under normal conditions. For this purpose, A controlled battery test bed was assembled. Different type of tests performance of the SLI battery. constant current automatic designed and equipments were were carried out to check the Various type of experiments were performed to study Watt Hour efficiency of battery at different current rates of 2,4,6,8 and 10 amps. and maximum efficiency is found out to be BO. 75 % at 2 a mps. rate of a 35 AH battery Charge - discharge characteristics of SLI battery at different current rates. Self Discharge rate of the battery is studied by taking 20 days long data. Stratification ie. aciddencity variations along the column of the cell and capacity loss due to under charging. Internal resistance of the SLI battery during charging and discharging modes at 10 amps. rate Cyclic life of the battery is st udied by charging discharging battery up to 54 cycles.
