Battery manufacturers specify the end-of-discharge voltage based on battery design and application.

Any discharge below the end of the discharge voltage is termed a deep discharge. Deep discharges, especially when more frequent, lead to battery capacity loss and degradation of the active material. Batteries subjected to deep discharges fail prematurely.

In the case of lead-acid batteries, deep discharges damage both the positive and negative electrodes.  

Sporadic and infrequent low voltages for a short period caused by a high current drawn from the load cannot be considered deep discharge.

To understand the phenomenon of deep discharge, please tune in to this episode of my podcast, available on various streaming platforms.

Electric vehicles, or EVs as they are more popularly known, are a sunrise sector with a lot of government encouragement so that car buyers shift to EVs from Internal Combustion Engine vehicles. Internal Combustion Engine vehicles are referred to as ICE vehicles.

EV buyers are lured by the fuel cost savings that will accrue to them when they buy an EV.

However, any fuel cost savings accrued to an EV owner have to cover the 

• higher cost of EVs compared to ICE vehicles, 
• insurance premium riders, 
• high and probable maintenance expenses, 
• battery replacement cost, 
• roadside assistance charges, and 
• the extra cost of towing the car. 

Regarding Total Cost of Ownership, the savings accrued after these expenses are covered can be considered real savings.

Operational savings accrued every month are, at best, an eyewash. 

This podcast episode also dwells upon other issues, such as battery recycling and vehicle resale costs.

Another unmissable episode for all EV users, dealers, and battery manufacturers.

Did you know that Lithium-Ion batteries are not similar to lead-acid batteries in terms of safety and handling procedures?

The popularity of lithium-ion batteries has resulted in the spawning of many dealers, traders, and assemblers of cells and modules. This is a good development, but many entrepreneurs are unaware of the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries. 

Hence, I considered doing this podcast episode focusing on the facilities to be incorporated in the battery rooms, keeping safety in mind.

I have touched upon the main aspects to consider when designing a battery room, and I hope this list is as comprehensive as possible. 

Lead acid battery manufacturers and dealers must listen to this episode.

I agree with many people within the battery industry and with battery users worldwide that Lithium Battery technology will usher in a change in the availability of battery technology.

A lot of people hold the view that Lithium batteries will replace lead-acid battery Technology. 

1. Is it a far-fetched view or an impossible dream?
2. Is it an unrealistic and non-achievable vision?

The manufacture of SMF batteries is not as easy as that of flooded electrolyte vented type batteries. One main reason for this is that an SMF battery has limited electrolyte, and the specific gravity of this electrolyte cannot be measured.

Is there a way to ensure the required consistent specific gravity in all the cells while maintaining a constant volume of sulphuric acid?

How can a good SMF battery be manufactured? 

To learn how to make long-life, high-performance SMF batteries, please tune in to this episode of my podcast.

A shortage of Antimony metal is causing significant disruptions in the battery world, and the impact goes beyond battery manufacturers.  

So, what’s happening? The price of lead itself hasn’t skyrocketed, but the real trouble lies in the shortage of antimony, a key ingredient in the alloy used to make lead-acid batteries. And when something critical goes missing from the supply chain, chaos follows!  

Now let us understand why there is a shortage of Antimony.
