How to keep track of Temperature compensation charger.


Variations in ambient temperature presents the greatest threat to battery installations. Special circuitry can be incorporated in the UPS to compensate for any variations in the ambient temperature making the recharge voltage temperature dependent - the higher the temperature - the lower the recharge voltage. This feature ensures optimum battery performance and helps to prolong their life.


The chemical reactions that occurs within batteries varies with temperature, wherein these variations cause a battery charged or maintained at standard voltages to be undercharged if cold, and overcharged if hot. Heat is the worst enemy of most batteries, including lead acid but it always can’t be avoided. As a guideline, each 8 degree C (15 degree F) rise in temperature cuts the life of a sealed lead acid battery in half. Chargers exposed to temperature fluctuations should include temperature compensation sensors to adjust the charge voltage for optimum charge efficiency. Temperature compensation on a lead acid charger voltage for optimum charge efficiency. Temperature compensation on a lead acid charger adjusts for temperature variations and prolongs battery life.
Wherein at the situations of extreme cold, we should not freeze a lead acid battery. This may cause a permanent damage. We should always keep battery fully charged. Flooded lead acid batteries tend to crack the case and cause leakage if frozen, sealed lead acid packs lose potency and only deliver a few cycles before a replacement is necessary.
We should always keep a track of temperatures as for Operating temperature - 20°C (-4°F) to 40°C (104°F) / Storage temperature - 40°C (-40°F) to 85°C (185°F) / temperature compensation 20°C (-4°F) to 40°C (104°F)
