Taking
the information we have already gathered during the baseline battery
tests, we can graph the relationship between voltage and SOC under
a 70 amp load for some randomly selected batteries.
For
this graph, we use actual achieved capacity rather than rated capacity.
Notice
that the curve of the graph of cell #74 matches the other 4 cells
fairly closely but .02 volts lower. To check this anomaly, we graphed
cells #73 and #75. Since their graphs match the other cells, it
is unlikely there was a change in test equipment. Cell #74 test
temperature and actual capacity is also within the range displayed
by the other cells.
Out
of curiosity, we add cell #77. This cell was one of the ones that
charged in an aberrant fashion. Hitting 4.2 volts after only 50
amp-hrs rather than the 60 amp-hrs that was the norm for 90% of
the batteries. #77 and #74 match fairly closely. Why do they both
sag more under load than other batteries?
