Battery Application & Technology

A simple duty cycle diagram is shown below:

Other consideration include;

1. Physical characteristics, such as size and weight of the cells, container material, vent caps, intercell connectors, and terminals

2. Planned life of the installation and expected life of the cell design

3. Frequency and depth of discharge

4. Ambient temperature

5. Maintenance requirements for the various cell designs

6. Shock characteristics of the cell design.
