  • Bachelor of Technology Electrical/Electronic Engineering Title: Design and Analysis of a Solar charge controller and battery
  • From the test carried out, the following deductions were made
  • Many battery manufacturers will advise sizing the battery for cyclic applications to a maximum depth of discharge of 50%
  • That Would mean doubling the size of the battery
  • Some batteries have trouble recovering from deep discharges, which mean for the 60 AH/Day load with 5 days of autonomy or 300 AH that they would advise using a 600 AH battery
  • This study does not have this limitation
  • Thus, the battery is replaceable when it does not provide 80% of its original capacity
  • Therefore, recommended that the same 300 AH requirement should be divided by 0.80 to provide a reliable battery system.
