Results of Simulation of Faults of Starter Batteries

Abstract

During the operation of the battery, its parameters change, declining with the rate affected by the natural aging processes or faults. To obtain information about changes in the parameters of the battery when the faults occur and develop, methods of their simulation have been developed. The change in the battery voltage under the influence of the reference load is determined to reduce the charging rate, oxidation of the pole terminals, and plates sulfatation. It is established that the health of state of old and faulty batteries at the same voltage differs significantly, which can be used to identify the technical condition of starter batteries.
