Are Vla gel batteries accelerating the degradation process in off-grid PV systems?

This paper describes test results of two sets of VRLA GEL batteries that included various phenomena which might accelerate their degradation process in off-grid PV systems like: incomplete charges (bad recharges), low start current and remaining in partially discharge state.

What are the risks of off-grid solar systems?

Since, in off-grid solar systems, there is no control over the available charging power and when it will stop, the risk of premature destruction off LA battery is very high. Especially in world regions where there are short periods of insolation, because usually the LA battery can be charged with current from 0,1C to 0,2C.

How long does a LFP battery last?

Compared to the data of LFP batteries (cycle life of about 2000–4000 cycles, with remaining capacity of about 80%) [45, 46], the battery system is far from the end of life (EOL), with an estimated remaining capacity of more than 95%. 2.6. Alpine Environmental Impacts on Battery Systems

How long does a battery cycle last?

The test shown in the paper included two cycling experiments lasting 45 days and 98 days during which the batteries where constantly charged and discharged in different cycles. The results show strong acceleration of degradation process for incomplete charges (bad recharges) which are specifically difficult to avoid in off-grid systems.
