What is the maximum charge/discharge of a battery?

Two 5.12/5.32kWh batteries have a continuous discharge of 100A. This means that the maximum charge/discharge is limited to the 90A of the inverter. Other Current Limiting Factors Your current should also be suitable for the rated current of your battery cables.

Why does a battery need a maximum charge current?

Max charge current allows the high performance of a battery. It prevents the chemical and physical stresses commonly due to exceeding the current limit during charging. Thus, the battery maintains the charging speed and enhances its efficiency. A specific voltage limit is required to charge the battery, affecting the battery’s health efficiently.

What is max charge current?

Max charge current is also designated as the Maximum Charging Current. It is defined as the maximum charging current that a battery can handle during its charging without causing it any damage. This article will explain the role and effects of the max charge current. Generally, the Maximum Charging current of the batteries is 0.1C or 0.5C to 1C.

What happens if you charge a battery over the maximum charge current?

Charging the battery above the max charge current limit can destroy its internal components. As a result, the battery can lose its functioning. However, the battery with a maximum charging current prevents the wear and tear of its components and preserves its lifespan. Max charge current allows the high performance of a battery.

What is the charge and discharge limit of my inverter?

Please refer to the manual for the charge and discharge limit of your inverter. When selecting the charge and discharge current limits you will always be limited to the lowest current value whether that is the inverter or the batteries. For example, the 3.6kW Ecco inverter has a 90A maximum charge/discharge current.

Why is max charge current important?

Max charge current prevents the battery from overheating and thus increases lifespan and ensures safety. Max charge current plays a crucial role in enhancing the lifespan of the batteries. Charging the battery above the max charge current limit can destroy its internal components. As a result, the battery can lose its functioning.
