6 VRLA Battery Management
6.1 Battery Charging
If the AC input to the power system is normal and meets load requirements, rectifiers supply
DC power to loads and lead-acid batteries. If the AC input to the power system is abnormal or
rectifiers cannot supply DC power, lead-acid batteries supply power to loads. After the AC
input or DC output is restored, rectifiers supply DC power to loads and lead-acid batteries.
6.1.1 Float Charging
Principles
Lead-acid batteries discharge slowly when they are being used. To compensate for the loss
caused by self-discharge, charge lead-acid batteries in float mode to ensure their full amount
of electricity. Float charging also helps to maintain battery capacity after a large amount of
electricity is discharged.
