Fast Formation of Tubular Plate Deep Cycle Lead Acid Battery by Acid Recirculation System (ACS)

Abstract

In Bangladesh mostly Deep Cycle (DC) Tubular plate Battery is used in the Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) which is mostly known as Easy Bike in the south Asian sub continental region. BEV use DC batteries to run its motor which helps the vehicle to move. Generally, these type of DC batteries need 40 - 80 hours of formation in factories to fully charge the battery. But with help of Acid Recirculation System (ACS) technology, this formation process time can be reduced to 10-20 hours. In this research work, we studied on efficiency, battery performance, capacity and other important terms of ACS formed batteries. In ACS technology, electrolyte is continuously circulated with help of an external pump in order to reduce the temperature rising inside cell during this fast formation process. This paper explores behavior of critical formation parameters like voltage, temperature, specific density of acid, and current density. It also explores other parameters like PbO ₂ , PbS04, capacity and life cycle test results, market return statistics, pros and cons of ACS charging etc. which are based on legit factory database. The authors aim to find a formation profile of ACS formation where battery could be formed within the shortest period of time keeping its all essential predispositions in context of Bangladesh atmosphere.
