Technical Manual
The technology enables continuous manufacture of thin plates using automated assembly lines
complete with sophisticated equipment and online quality checks.
A battery is a critical component of any power supply system and has a significant impact on its
performance and reliability. Today, there is a distinct preference for high-performance, compact and
light weight batteries.
Engineered by HBL, Lead-X redefines performance. Lead-X batteries employ Pure Lead-Tin, thin plate
design for high performance. These Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries are designed using
Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) separators that render the batteries spill-proof. Use of AGM separators in
combination with self-resealing, pressure regulating valves and a starved electrolyte design enable
recombination of gasses generated during normal operation. This eliminates the need for electrolyte
top-up.
Lead-X batteries are delivered fully charged and can be commissioned immediately without delay.

Float Life
In a float arrangement, the battery is kept connected across a charger which continually replenishes the
drain in the battery caused due to self-discharge.
The expected life of a battery, also known as its designed life, is influenced by the ambient
temperature. Based on the Arrhenius Equation, which relates ambient temperature and the rate of
positive-grid corrosion of the battery, it is estimated that the expected life of lead acid batteries is
reduced by 50% for every 8 to 10C rise in the average ambient temperature.
The expected float life of batteries at various average ambient temperatures, when floated at a float
voltage of 2.25 volts per cell, is shown in Graph1.

When a lead acid battery reaches the end of its life, the failure mode is positive grid corrosion. Grid
corrosion reduces the available cross section of the grid which is required to carry current. While this
reduced cross section is adequate to deliver low currents while carrying out capacity tests, it is not
adequate to sustain high currents.
The special Pure Lead-Tin alloy minimizes positive grid corrosion.
Cycle Life
An alternative method of expressing battery life is the number of cycles that can be delivered by a
battery at a specified discharge rate to a specified end voltage at an ambient temperature of 25C.
The depth of discharge (DOD) is an important variable affecting the battery's cycle life expectancy (as
shown in Graph 2 below). It is important to optimize the charging regime of the battery for cycling
applications in order to ensure full recharge before discharging the battery. Full recharge can be
achieved by using an elevated voltage for charging. It is highly detrimental to subject an undercharged
battery to cycling since this will cause premature battery failure.

Charging
Constant voltage charging is the most preferred charging method for Lead-X batteries.
When charging the battery with a constant voltage charger in float applications, the charger must be set
at the following voltages at 250C.
Boost: 2.4V per cell , Float: 2.25V per cell.
For cyclic applications, where the time available for re-charging is limited, rapid charging can be
carried out at the boost voltage specified above.
No current limit is required during constant voltage charging. However, the charger should be capable of
giving at least 0.1C10 A (where C10 is the capacity of battery at 10 hr rate of discharge to end 1.80V per
cell). The charger should automatically sense the current drawn by the battery and switch over to the
float mode when the battery is fully charged.
The charger should provide temperature compensation (as shown in Graph 3) to ensure optimum
charging of the battery. The charger should also have an AC voltage ripple of <3% RMS.

Storage
Batteries lose capacity when not in use, a phenomenon termed as self-discharge. The use of pure raw
materials decreases the rate of self-discharge and enhances storage life. Loss of capacity during
storage is to be compensated for by giving a freshening charge to the battery. In case the batteries are
stored for very long periods or at high temperatures without giving a freshening charge, there will be an
irreversible sulphation leading to permanent loss in capacity.
Lead-X batteries can be stored for a maximum period of two years at 20C with open circuit voltage
(OCV) monitoring every 4 months. If the OCV falls to 2.1V per cell, the battery should be given a
freshening charge at 2.4V per cell for 12hrs. OCV Monitoring interval with respect to temperature of
storage is given in Table 1 below.

Discharge Performance
Lead-X batteries are rated at the 10hr rate of discharge to end 1.80 V per cell at 25C. Discharge
currents and power available at 25C from these batteries for different time periods and to different
end voltages is given in this manual.
These batteries are capable of performing between -40C and +50C. The performance of the battery
will however be reduced at low temperatures (see Graph 4). At higher temperatures, the performance
will be enhanced, but the life of battery is reduced.

Sizing and selection of a battery is application specific. Certain correction factors also have to be
applied before arriving at the final battery capacity.
Correction factors
1) K factor (designated CK) See Table 2
It is the ratio of 'Rated Capacity' to 'Amperes' that can be supplied for the required
't' time.
2) Temperature correction factor (designated CTC) See Table 3
It is the ratio of the 'Rated Capacity' to the Capacity obtainable at tC.
3) Aging factor (designated CAF)
Normally taken to be 1.25 (1/0.8) considering 80% as the end of life criterion.
4) Design margin (designated CDM)
A nominal 10% cushion is taken as standard over-sizing to take care of design errors in
the load specifications. This may also be specified by the user.
5) Over load factor (designated COL)
Reserve capacity that may be installed to take care of future additional loads. Normally
10% is considered. This again depends on customer's requirement.

Calculations
Step 1 Calculate power output of UPS (WUPS)
(not required if power output is already given in KW)
WUPS = KVA x Power factor = 2 x 0.8 = 1.6 KW
Step 2 Calculate power required from battery
Wbty = [UPS output wattage (in KW) x 1000] / Inverter efficiency
= (1.6 x 1000) / 0.85 = 1882.4 W
Step 3 Calculate number of blocs required
Minimum number required = Minimum voltage / End of discharge voltage
= 90 / 10.5 = 8.57 blocs
Maximum number required = Maximum voltage / Float charging voltage
= 130 / 13.5 = 9.63 blocs
Number of blocs selected = 9 of 12V each

Calculations
Step 1 Calculate the current
Current = Load in watts / Nominal system voltage
= 10W / 12V = 0.83 amperes
Step 2 Refer the k-factor
Refer Table 2 to determine the k-factor for 96 hrs (4 days x 24 hrs = 96 hrs) and
1.75 end cell voltage
The k-factor is 83.1
Step 3 Calculate the capacity required
Capacity required = Current x k-factor
= 0.83 x 83.1 = 68.97 Ah
Step 4 Apply Temperature correction factor
Temperature correction factor for 25C (CTC) = 1.0
Capacity required = 68.97 x 1.0 = 68.97 Ah
Step 5 Apply Ageing factor CAF
Capacity required = 68.97 x 1.25 = 86.21 Ah
Step 6 Apply Design factor CDF
Capacity required = 86.21 x 1.1 = 94.83 Ah
Step 7 Apply Overload factor COF
Capacity required = 94.83 x 1.1 = 104.3 Ah

DC loads supplied by the battery during the duty cycle may be classified as under:
Continuous loads
Non continuous loads (> 1 minute)
Non continuous momentary loads (< 1 minute)
The IEEE Std 485-1997 gives the recommended practice for sizing batteries for stationary
applications according to a specified duty cycle.
The Generalized duty cycle can be drawn as follows:

The maximum capacity (max Fs) calculated determines the uncorrected cell size that can be
expressed by the following general equation.

are the amperes required for period P;
is the time in minutes from the beginning of period P through the end of
section S;
is the time of each period in minutes
17
If the current for period P+1 is greater than the current for period P, then section S=P+1 will
require a larger cell than section S=P. Consequently, the calculations for section S = P can be
omitted.

Note:
1. Any start period of less than 1 minute duration is considered for 1 minute.
2. In any section N, if the current for the 'N+1' period is higher than the current of the
period 'N' then the section 'N' may be skipped as the next section 'N+1' will be of higher
size.
3. Number of monoblocs = Total system Voltage / Nominal voltage of a monobloc

Calculations
Fill the Load 'A' and period 'M' values in columns 2 & 4
Fill the changes in the load as the difference between the present load and previous
load with sign (positive or negative) in column 3
3 Fill the duration 'T' for each period from the beginning (T=0) to the end of each section
in column 5
4 Enter the k-factor value, for each duration 'T' in column 6. Refer Table 2 for k-factors
5 The capacity for each period 'P' is calculated by multiplying column 3 and column 6
and entered in column 7 with sign (positive or negative)
6 The sum of capacities for all periods in every section is taken as the size of the section.
7 The maximum value of all the sections noted as above plus the value in random load
section, if any is taken as the uncorrected size.
