4 FAQs about Lead-acid battery base station discharge test

What is a battery discharge test?

Among all the tests, the discharge test (also known as load test or capacity test) is the only test that can accurately measure the true capacity of a battery system and in turn determine the state of health of batteries.

What are the annexes of a lead-acid battery inspection program?

Annex E describes the visual inspection requirements. Annex F provides methods for measuring connection resistances. Annex G discusses alternative test and inspection programs. Annex H describes the effects of elevated temperature on lead-acid batteries. Annex I provides methodologies for conducting a modified performance test.

What is a battery performance test?

A performance test is defined as “a constant-current or constant-power capacity test made on a battery after it has been in service”2. It is the most commonly used discharge test method and it determines if the battery is performing according to the manufacturer's specifications and/or if it is within acceptable limits.

What happens when a lead acid battery is fully charged?

A fully charged lead acid battery when subjected to discharge testing typically shows a phenomenon at the beginning of test known as coup de fouet.
