Sistema para controle de carga e descarga com balanceamento de carga para bateria de chumbo ácido com células ligadas em série

Abstract

There are presently market a wide range of batteries. These batteries come to meet the need of electric power supply for electronic devices unable to be connected to a source of electricity for a certain period of time. For this to happen, a battery goes through a cycle involving a charge period and a discharge period. Another point to be noted is that the vast majority of applications that utilize lead acid batteries have a supply voltage above 2 volts, the voltage which is provided by a single cell. For higher voltages, it is necessary to link various cells in series. According to manufacturers of lead acid batteries, if loading and unloading are carried out in accordance with the specifications provided for the product, ensures the maximum utilization of battery life, but failure to comply with these specifications can shorten the life of a battery lead acid in more than 50%. Given the above, this paper describes the design of a system to charge control, discharge control and load balancing for lead acid batteries for better efficiency and maximum utilization of the useful life of the batteries.
