Specific Gravity Electrolyte and Battery Voltage
Revolutionize battery monitoring with our Real-Time Specific Gravity Monitoring solution. Our highly affordable, scalable, and automated IoT Platform system measures the gravity of sulfuric acid in Lead Acid batteries in real time , providing instant alerts, warnings, and reports to monitor the health and state of charge of your batteries. Our system eliminates the need for constant physical checks , saves time, and keeps your batteries in top shape.
Measuring the specific gravity of electrolytes in a lead-acid battery is essential for determining their state of charge and health and performing corrective actions.
- State-of-charge: A low specific gravity indicates that the battery is discharged, while a high specific gravity indicates the battery is charged.
- Battery Health: Monitoring the specific gravity over time can help monitor the battery's health. A decrease in specific gravity over a short period may indicate that the battery is reaching the end of its useful life or is experiencing issues like sulfation or stratification.
- Battery Performance: Maintaining the appropriate SOC level is crucial for the performance and lifespan of the battery bank. If the battery is discharged too deeply, it can lead to irreversible damage, reducing capacity and lifespan. On the other hand, overcharging the battery can cause it to overheat, leading to a risk of fire or explosion.
