| Description |
The lead-acid battery is often the weakest link
in photovoltaic (PV) installations. Accordingly, various
versions of lead-acid batteries, namely flooded, gelled,
absorbent glass-mat and hybrid, have been assembled and
performance tested for a PV stand-alone lighting system.
The study suggests the hybrid VRLA batteries, which
exhibit both the high power density of absorbent glass-mat
design and the improved thermal properties of the gel
design, to be appropriate for such an application. Among
the VRLA-type batteries studied here water loss for the
hybrid VRLA batteries is minimal and charge-acceptance
during the service at high temperatures is better in relation
to their AGM counterparts.
