Development of a Cost-Effective Heavy-Duty Lead-Acid Battery Capacity Tester

Abstract

Batteries are the energy source that provides energy to the vehicle for the first movement. Batteries used in motor vehicles nowadays are usually lead-acid batteries. This paper introduces the basic components of lead-acid batteries and describes the concept of a battery capacity test. The general definition of the standard for testing, EN50342, and the required conditions are presented. Furthermore, a cost-effective capacity tester for heavy-duty lead-acid batteries in compliance with the standard was developed and introduced.

“…However, the battery charge time required for the electric vehicle to start again is quite high. In order to eliminate these disadvantages mentioned in electric vehicles, the energy in the battery should be used efficiently [1][2][3]. There are many methods used in the literature to increase the range of electric vehicles.…”
