WHAT IS BATTERY CYCLE, ARE DEEP CYCLE USED FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS? WHAT IS THE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN INVERTOR & AUTOMOTIVE BATTERY?
Battery stores chemical energy which, when used, is converted to electrical energy. However, in case of lead acid battery the chemical process is reversible. i.e. when reverse current is applied back to the battery by alternator of vehicle; it restores chemical properties capable of delivering current for further use. In day to day life, these process are known as charging and discharging in continuous manner and hence called “battery cycling”. No, Automotive batteries are generally used for short burst of high current for few seconds to merely start engine. After vehicle cranking is performed the alternator starts charging the battery for the loss of current used in starting the vehicle. Thus automotive battery do not discharge completely. Since the automotive battery are not designed for deep cycling hence any accidental deep cycle will cause the excessive damage to the battery, will shorten the age and at worst may render battery completely dead. However, in case of inverter, go-car
