6 Frequently Asked Questions about “How to limit the battery discharge current”

What is the difference between battery capacity vs discharge rate?

The battery capacity vs discharge is far from linear, and the mAh rating is quoted against a low discharge rate (~0.1*capacity). Secondly your circuit will use as much current as it needs. Trying to limit the current is likely to stop it working. To use less current, redesign the circuit.

What is limit charge current?

Limit charge current is a user-configurable maximum charge current setting. It works across the whole system, whereby Solar is prioritised first, then the Orion XS DC-DC battery charger and then the inverter/charger. This setting is available in the Settings → DVCC menu on the GX device. Particulars:

What happens when a battery is recharged to a higher voltage?

When the battery is recharged to a second predetermined higher voltage (upper voltage threshold), the relay contact automatically re-closes and power again flows to the load. Both lower and upper voltage thresholds are independently adjustable to the desired voltages.

How does the DVCC charge current limit work?

If you have one or more shunts configured for "DC system" (when more than one, they are added together), then the DVCC charge current limit compensates for both loads and chargers. It will add extra charge current if there is a load, and subtract it if there is another charger in the DC system.

Can a battery pack be protected if a vehicle controller knows power limits?

These voltage limits will have to be applied anyway, but they tend to be a hard stop. If the vehicle controller knows the current/power limits ahead of time then the battery pack can be protected and the user can be limited more gradually to avoid the sudden loss of power.

What is a current limit estimate (CLE)?

To address this challenge, we define the current limit estimate (CLE), which is the maximum current that can be extracted and sustained from the LIB system for a given pulse duration, at a given point of discharge SOC, at a particular cell temperature, that will take the LIB system to a pre-defined voltage cut-off at the end of the pulse.
