Optimized approaches to cyclic charging

Given the foregoing, a series of requirements for optimized charging of VRLA batteries can be formulated. It should be noted that this approach will be necessary earlier in life and more obviously effective with thin-plate products. Thick-plate cells. 

While this cycling project did not achieve the goal of 1000 deep cycles, it should be noted that, in contrast to several other studies previously cited, these results are for continuous cycling (i.e., no conditioning cycles, save one) on a commercial 6-cell 

The Cl algorithm was also applied to a 288-V EV pack of Optima 12-V/50-Ah deep-cycling modules at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory [57]. This was an 80% DoD test with continuous cycling (i.e., no regular conditioning charges). 

Cycling weight loss = 115 g (19 g / cell) Grid corrosion loss = 36% 

Full recharge every 10 cycles of 6.2 A for 10 h, Cl to120% biMal capacity charge return 126% Initial capacity starting at cycle 870.
