6 FAQs about [Battery discharge circuit]

What happens if a battery is discharged?

In a discharged condition, current to the protection circuitry continuously discharges the battery. If the battery is discharged below the recommended end-of-discharge voltage, overall battery performance degrades, the cycle life is shortened and the battery may die prematurely.

What is a deep discharge battery?

These batteries regularly deep discharge using most of their capacity. For a deep cycle lead-acid battery, the depth of discharge is 50%. These types of batteries are used in UPS, traffic signals, remote applications, and off-grid power storage applications. For deep discharge protection, we need to identify the cut-off voltage of the battery.

How to design a deep discharge protection circuit?

For deep discharge protection, we need to identify the cut-off voltage of the battery. After that, we need to design a circuit in which, when the battery reaches the cut-off voltage level, a switch disconnects the load from the battery. For cut-off voltage identification, we will choose a Zener diode.

What happens if a battery is discharged to a low voltage?

It paves the way for enhancing the battery’s life significantly. Once a battery discharges to a very low voltage, such that its depth of discharge reaches approximately 80% of its fully charged capacity, any further discharge may turn out to be fatal for the battery.

Should a battery be deep discharged?

Thus, deep discharging is something to avoid, as it can harm the load and battery itself. But some batteries are designed to deeply discharge regularly and these batteries are known as deep cycle batteries. These batteries regularly deep discharge using most of their capacity. For a deep cycle lead-acid battery, the depth of discharge is 50%.

How do I know if my battery is discharged?

The discharge LED will turn on and indicate when the circuit is discharging the battery. It will turn off when the discharge is complete. It is not really necessary to have the second LED. Bearing that in mind, you can have the relay disconnect the battery completely at the end of the cycle. This will solve your other problems.
