UNIT 3: Battery Selection and Sizing

The lesson will start by establishing that each battery manufacturer will typically offer a series of battery models, each with the different operating characteristics that are designed to meet the specific requirements for companies in Communications, Utilities and Data Centers. The students will then learn about how to determine the type of battery to use for several specific applications and establish the battery capacity required, based on the methods contained in the IEEE Recommended Practices for the chemistry selected. This will allow the students to better understand how to determine the type and duration of a
discharge test.
