Changes hidden within the batteries’ opaque case material can be identified by their corresponding affect on the internal resistance of a cell. As battery cells age and deteriorate, the internal resistance values in the cells increase, indicating a departure from healthy battery readings.
Based on the various effects obtained in the course of analyzing resistance, it has been confirmed that the internal resistance of a deteriorated battery increases as the resistance of positive plates increases. In addition, a means for identifying another deterioration mode (dry-out) applied using ohmic resistance is described.
Here applied voltage is the main driver for thermal runaway and all batteries at 2.62–2.65 Vpc exhibit thermal runaway at various temperatures. For an old VRLA battery, the maximum float current is much lower when compared with the new batteries, but its temperature rise is similar because the old VRLA battery has higher internal resistance.
Over the past 30 years, internal resistance testing has become the standard for monitoring the characteristics of VRLA battery performance. Changes hidden within the batteries’ opaque case material can be identified by their corresponding affect on the internal resistance of a cell.
Thus, the strong position of lead-acid batteries in this field will be improved by the valve-regulated design, and they will remain in widespread use in the future. Furthermore, the VRLA design opens applications for lead-acid batteries where acid stratification had been an obstacle for the vented design.
The valve-regulated version of this battery system, the VRLA battery, is a development parallel to the sealed nickel/cadmium battery that appeared on the market shortly after World War II and largely replaced lead-acid batteries in portable applications at that time.
