Battery resistance vs. SOC

[Salvo]

Bet you've never seen a plot like this before. This a resistance plot of a 200 AH battery charging from 10% SOC to 120%. The three plots are at currents: C/5 (40A), C/10 (20A), and C/20 (10A).

Don't know why, but resistance for C/20 is quite a bit higher than the higher charge rates.

Once past 70 to 80% SOC the resistance really takes off.



Data for these plots was obtained from this plot.

The effect of the plates heating?

But then I don't know why then the resistance would decrease past approx. 100%

Here ya go. 🙂

It is interesting that "gassing voltage" also occurs around there. But also you get a lower SOC when using higher amps rate to hit the same Vabs.

Trimetric manual has a note on charging efficiency at over 80% where they just don't bother to allow for that, it gets too crazy.
