Batteries Demystified by Ramesh Natarajan 78. Deep Discharge Of Lead-Acid Batteries ExplainedBattery manufacturers specify the end-of-discharge voltage based on battery design and application.Any discharge below the end of the discharge voltage is termed a deep discharge. Deep discharges, especially when more frequent, lead to battery capacity loss and degradation of the active material. Batteries subjected to deep discharges fail prematurely.In the case of lead-acid batteries, deep discharges damage both the positive and negative electrodes. Sporadic and infrequent low voltages for a short period caused by a high current drawn from the load cannot be considered deep discharge.To understand the p...

Battery regeneration: a fashionable trend or workable model?✳️ Is it practically possible or economically viable? ✳️▶️ When a battery stops performing well or even fails within its warranty period, it must be thoroughly checked before being scrapped. ▶️ As a battery ages, its performance naturally declines—much like the human body. ▶️ Speaking of which, here's a helpful analogy: think of your body with all its organs. As we age, our organs wear down over time. Some of them deteriorate gradually, while others may completely fail. ▶️ This same process happens in batteries, with their internal components breaking down over time.▶️ But here’s where it gets interest...

Batteries Demystified by Ramesh Natarajan 9. केस अध्ययन - पेस्टिंग मशीनअजीब लेकिन सच है......मेरा मतलब है सच्ची कहानी जो मैंने इस हिंदी पॉडकास्ट एपिसोड में साझा की है।यह एपिसोड एक पेस्टिंग मशीन की सच्ची कहानी है जो रोजाना सुबह 9 बजे से 11.00 बजे तक काम करती थी और आश्चर्यजनक रूप से हर दिन दोपहर 12.00 बजे के बाद चिपकाई गई प्लेट नहीं बनाती थी।क्या आप इसका कारण अनुमान लगा सकते हैं कि मशीन ने इतने अजीब तरीके से व्यवहार क्यों किया?इस तरह के व्यवहार का कारण मशीन उपयोगकर्ता को तब तक परेशान करता रहा जब तक कि इस तरह के व्यवहार का कारण आखिरकार पता नहीं चल गया।शुरू से अंत तक की पूरी यात्रा को मैंने अपने पॉडकास्ट - बैटरीज डेमिस्टीफाइड के इस एपिसोड में मैप किया है।SHARE YOUR FEEDBACK Visit, www.RameshNatarajan.in to stay connected Join my network on LinkedIn to engage on social media View my videos on my Youtube Channel to get further insights of Lead Acid Batteries
