Partial-state-of-charge cycling — an evolving algorithm

Partial-state-of-charge cycling — an evolving algorithm 

Due to the incorporation of VRLA products into such new applications as HEV and photovoltaics/wind/hydro-electric energy conversion, or RAPS (remote-area power sources), the development of cycling algorithms involving a relatively narrow SoC window has emerged. While it is beyond the scope of this review to cover this topic in great depth, a general overview will be presented. 

Duty Float Deep-cycle Low-rate PSoC High-rate PSoC Automotive 

In terms of charging and charge regulation, high-rate PSoC operation more or less dumps charge into the battery at levels of 1 kW per kg or more. Even though 

Regime 3 an infrequent, but regular and thorough conditioning charge.
