What are the reasons for UPS battery expansion?

There are many reasons for UPS battery expansion, and maintenance-free batteries are generally valve-controlled and sealed, which have more opportunities for expansion than ordinary batteries. Let's look at several reasons that will cause the UPS battery to expand: 1. Normal expansion. During the use of maintenance-free UPS batteries, in order to extend battery life, try to minimize the number of battery safety valve activations. Therefore, under the use of internal pressure of the UPS battery, the outer wall will swell. When there is internal pressure, the safety valve will not open, and the shell will swell normally. As long as it does not exceed the specified swelling range, it is a normal phenomenon. 2. Balanced charging causes swelling of the outer wall. When the maintenance-free UPS battery has just been transferred from the discharged state to the charged state, its internal electrochemical conversion efficiency is relatively high, and there is less oxygen. When the battery is close to the full state, the electrochemical conversion efficiency is reduced, and the oxygen increases, which causes the internal pressure of the battery to rise slightly, and the outer wall of the battery also swells. Under normal circumstances, after the battery is fully charged, this swelling will reach equilibrium. 3. Abnormal expansion. Abnormal expansion may be caused by the following reasons: 1. The temperature difference and voltage difference beyond the normal value can also cause the maintenance-free battery to swell. 2. The safety valve is out of control. During the charging process, when the internal gas is too large, the safety valve fails and does not open, resulting in excessive internal pressure and bulging of the outer wall. 3. Excessive charging voltage is the most important reason for the swelling of the valve-regulated sealed lead-acid battery shell. 4. Thermal runaway causes the maintenance-free UPS battery to swell and deform. Disclaimer: Some pictures and content of the articles published on this site are from the Internet.
