FAQ
What is IEEE 485-2020?
It is the IEEE Recommended Practice for sizing lead-acid batteries for stationary applications. It defines the methodology to convert load profile and autonomy time into required capacity, establishing parameters such as final discharge voltage, operating temperature, correction factors, aging (end of life), and design margin.
What factors does the Battery Sizing autonomy calculator adjust?
It adjusts for:
- Operating temperature (derating)
- Aging
- Design margin (for contingencies and tolerances)
- Final discharge voltage and load profile depending on the use case
Can I compare capacities between different battery models?
Yes, you can view the different options provided by the calculator based on the capacities you select, allowing comparisons of autonomy times and oversizing.
Can I download a report from the autonomy calculator?
Yes, the tool generates a technical PDF with the recommended configuration for your battery bank.
Can I know the estimated recharge time?
Yes, the autonomy calculator includes an option to estimate the time required to recharge the battery bank after a discharge.
