How Does Overcharging Damage Batteries?

Overcharging a battery occurs when the total capacity removed has been replaced by recharging and the battery remains on charge. This overcharging creates excessive heat which can cause the battery plates within the cells to buckle and shed their active material. The battery will react to the overcharge by producing an excessive amount of hydrogen and oxygen. These gases are the result of the breakdown of the water molecules within the electrolyte. The water that has been displaced by overcharging can be replaced in a serviceable (non-sealed) battery, but, in the maintenance-free sealed batteries, permanent capacity loss will result.

Excessive discharging a battery can also damage a battery. The amount of discharge a battery can have without damage depends upon the chemistry of the battery, but in general a lead acid battery will not tolerate as deep a discharge as a Ni-cad battery or Ni-mh battery. Sealed lead acid batteries function best if they are discharged to only about 85% of nominal voltage (10.2V on 12V battery).

Supplier Spotlight: Enersys

EnerSys is one of the world's largest providers of stored DC power products, systems and services. With roots dating Back to 1888, they have a longstanding tradition of quality and innovation in stored energy solutions.

The Electric Storage Battery Company (ESB) was founded near Philadelphia in 1888. Its Chloride Accumulator Battery helped launch the Age of Electricity. The first Exide (Exotic Oxide) battery was marketed in 1900. The growing company patented the tubular plate battery in 1910, and marketed it as Exide-Ironclad.

ESB grew dramatically over the years, through product innovation and by expanding the uses for battery power (including separate marketing efforts for automotive and industrial batteries), through purchases of related technology companies such as the General Battery Corporation in 1987, and from numerous corporate changes. ESB eventually became Exide Corporation, which in 1991 sold its industrial battery operations to Yuasa Inc. resulting in the formation of two companies. Exide Corporation (automotive batteries) became a separate, publicly owned company with no further ties to EnerSys. Yuasa-Exide, Inc. (all industrial battery lines, including motive power) was owned by Yuasa Inc. As the final evolutionary step, Yuasa-Exide, Inc., changed its name to Yuasa Inc, in 1998 and finally to EnerSys Inc. in 2000.

In March, 2002, EnerSys finalized its acquisition of the Energy Storage products group of Invensys plc, headquartered in Chippenham, England, making it one of the largest battery manufacturers in the world. They operate 19 manufacturing and assembly facilities worldwide, with customers in over 100 countries. EnerSys maintains its worldwide headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, USA with divisional headquarters in Europe and Asia.

Supplier Spotlight: Ametek Solidstate Controls

Purpose
The purpose of our business is to provide continuity of electrical power to keep businesses in business. We do this by helping clients solve their power problems and by creating the most economical long term results.

Industrial Process and Power Generation Market Focus
AMETEK Solidstate Controls (Solidstate ) was established in 1962. We are focused on serving only industrial process and power generating clients and have more than 35,000 systems installed throughout the world, including more than 85 Nuclear Power plants worldwide.

Product Reliability
Industrial Process and Power Generating businesses are subject to severe consequences when power problems occur. Human safety, the environment and lost revenue are at stake. Our 18 years MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) - based on actual field experience - is the highest available rating in the industry. This technology allows you to reliably keep operations running at a very low cost for the 40 year expected life of the equipment.

Modern, Efficient Facilities
Solidstate operates from its main office and manufacturing facility in Columbus, Ohio. The facility is situated on 13 acres with a 56,000 square foot (6000 sq. meters) building. Operations required to design, manufacture, and service the power systems are performed by more than 175 people located in this facility. Solidstate also has a 10,000 square foot manufacturing facility with 17 employees in Rosario, Argentina that designs and manufactures uninterruptible power systems, battery chargers, inverters, cathodic protection systems and electroplating rectifiers for industrial applications.

Included in the capabilities are computer-aided design and drafting (2D and 3D); a leading edge in-house metal shop; transformer manufacturing, including computer controlled winding machinery and a vacuum impregnation system; electronic assembly; printed circuit board (PCB) assembly; painting and testing.

Recycle your Batteries!

One of the best decisions you can make when returning your old battery is finding a place that will reuse it in the most environmentally safe way.

East Penn (DEKA Batteries) completely recycles all three major battery components for new battery use: lead, polypropylene (plastic), and acid.

East Penn was the first in the industry to develop a method for acid reclamation. In fact, through our innovative process, even the sulfur fumes created through recycling are turned into a liquid fertilizer for agricultural purposes. Not many recycling programs can claim that extent of environmental protection. If you would like to learn more about our Recycling Success Story, click here.

East Penn makes recycling your battery convenient with a network of factory warehouses located throughout the United State and Canada that will return your battery for proper recycling.

To find out where you can bring your batteries for recycling, please enter your U.S. Zip Code or choose the nearest Canadian City to you from the list, then please contact the closest East Penn warehouse to you. Our branch personnel will be happy to help you.
