XE & EP BATTERIES APPLICATION MANUAL RESERVE POWER
Genesis® XE & EP Application Manual TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface Preface This European edition of the Genesis Application Manual introduces the Genesis XE range of batteries, packaged to offer the same superior performance characteristics as the Genesis EP battery in more physically demanding applications such as high temperature and high vibration environments.
Chapter Chapter1:1: Introducing ® Introducingthe theGenesis GenesisBattery Battery 1.3 UL component recognition All Genesis batteries are recognised as UL components. 1.4 Non-halogenated plastics 1.1 Background Since its introduction in the early 1990s, the Genesis thin plate pure lead-tin (TPPL) battery has established itself as a premium high performance battery suitable for a wide range of demanding applications.
The EP battery is adequate under most operating conditions. Special application situations such as high ambient temperature or high shock and vibration require the XE version. Chapter Chapter2:2: Technical TechnicalInformation Information 2.1 Introduction We have divided this chapter into small sections allowing you to locate the information quickly and easily. Table 2.2.1 summarises the differences between the two versions and is designed to help you choose the right version for your application.
While several factors affect the life of a battery, cycle life depends primarily on the depth of discharge (DOD). At a DOD of 80%, the Genesis® battery will deliver 400 cycles; at 100% DOD, that number decreases to 320 cycles All cycle life estimates assume adequate full recharge. Figure 2.3.1 shows the relationship between DOD and cycle life. situation should be expected to last only about 3.5 years (10/2.83 =3.5). Figure 2.3.

Applying Ohm’s Law, which states that the current in a circuit is equal to the voltage gradient (difference) in the circuit divided by the total resistance in the circuit, and substituting the various parameters’ assumed values, we have the following charging currents. Note that all connection resistances, such as those for cables, are neglected for simplicity. This omission does not affect the outcome since its influence would be the same in both cases, neglecting changes due to electrical heating.
When using a CC-charge regime, the charge current must switch from a high (starting) rate to a low (finishing) rate when the battery reaches 100% state of charge. The point at which this switch occurs may be determined by using a timer or by sensing the battery voltage. The timer setting can be determined by calculating the time needed to return 105% to 110% of the amperehours drawn out.
Design 3: Figure 2.8.1: Three-step (IUU) charge profile Bulk charge (RED) 8-hour absorption charge (ORANGE) Continuous float charge (GREEN) Amps Alternatively, the charger can stay in the absorption phase for a fixed 8 hours. Once this absorption charge time is over, the charger can switch to a temperaturecompensated float voltage. The advantage with this design is a less complex circuit because it is not necessary to monitor the charge current in the absorption phase. The charger has no timer.
2.11 Open circuit voltage (OCV) and state of charge (SOC) Since most batteries are subject to some kind of storage, it is important for the user to have some method of accurately estimating the battery capacity after it has been in storage. 100 25°C 65°C 45°C 90 Percent of 0.05C capacity Just as every 8°C rise in operating temperature cuts the battery’s life expectancy in half, so does every 8°C increase in ambient temperature reduce the storage life of a battery by 50%.
This section’s purpose is to discuss actual data from various tests conducted on Genesis® batteries. These tests may be of particular interest to system designers and application engineers. Other test results serve to confirm the data published in the Genesis Selection Guide. Tests covered in this chapter include the following: Thermal runaway test Altitude test 12V, 26Ah Pure Lead-tin VRLA Test ends when temperature reached 60°C or current rises to 4.5A 7 70 Battery temperature at 60°C after 370.
3.4 DIN standard overdischarge recovery test This German standard test was designed to determine the ability of batteries to recover from overdischarge using standard chargers. In addition, the test also gives an indication of the resistance of the battery to permanent damage caused by sulphation, a phenomenon that occurs when a battery is left in a discharged condition for an extended length of time. The test began by discharging a fully charged 26Ah battery at the 20-hour rate to 1.70 Vpc.

Even though VRLA batteries do not require the addition of water, periodic maintenance checks are strongly recommended. These are: 18 Acceleration factor for 55°C:13.454 Capacities after 270 days (9.
4.4.1 Temperature 4.5 Parallel strings Avoid placing batteries in areas of high temperature or in direct sunlight. The optimal temperature range for performance and service life of the Genesis® battery is 20ºC to 25ºC. These batteries can, however be used at temperatures ranging from -40ºC to 80ºC when fitted with a metal jacket. While there are no theoretical limits on the number of parallel battery strings, we recommend no more than 6 parallel strings per system, particularly for cyclic applications.
