50% of the success of battery regeneration depends on the regenerator and the remaining 50% on the correct levelling of the acid density level in the cells. For batteries with an air system, the adjustment of the electrolyte is even mandatory.
The use of a traction battery causes differences between the electrolyte density levels of the individual battery cells. Many years of battery use can even lead to a situation where no cell has the correct level of density. The lower the density, the less energy a cell can store. Digital regulation involves accurately measuring the density in a cell using a very precise instrument and correcting it to the correct level using sophisticated computer software.
With the SRE Electrolyte Regulation System, you can repair and maintain traction batteries yourself, thus saving on maintenance services. Every traction battery manufacturer recommends that you constantly monitor the cell density and equalise its value, now you will be able to do this without anyone's help.
Cells that have a lower electrolyte density than others will be damaged first. Setting the same density in all cells results in even degradation of the battery. The correct electrolyte density in all cells also ensures that the maximum cell capacity available is used.
In an 80V traction battery 8 PzS 480, a difference of 0.01 in measurement accuracy is as much as 6 litres of sulphuric acid. With such differences, there is no question of using equipment with poor measurement precision and resolution. Concentrating the electrolyte too much can lead to damage to the battery during use, and insufficient electrolyte replenishment will result in uneven cells and sub-optimal capacity utilisation.
Using manual solutions wastes valuable time with lengthy measurements and note-taking of results. The solution of the Electrolyte Regulation System is a fast electronic measurement, automatic storage of results in memory and their automatic transfer to the computer software. The software automatically performs all the necessary calculations and informs you of any necessary corrections to the density of individual cells. You can use any electrolyte for adjustment, the programme will automatically adjust to the density of the mixture you use in your business.
