Battery Charger Calculations

This document contains calculations to determine the appropriate battery capacity and charger rating for a generator set. It calculates that a set of 4 batteries with a total capacity of 800 Ah would experience a 0.405V drop after 3 starting attempts. A 5A battery charger could recharge the batteries in 2 hours and 31 minutes after 3 starting attempts. For 6 starting attempts, a 5A charger would take 5 hours and 2 minutes to fully recharge the batteries.

Generator Set Details Battery and Charger Details

Genset Model : JP1250 28 Battery Capacity: 4x 200 Ah 200


Engine Brand: Perkins Battery Charger: DSE9255: 24V, 5A
Engine Model: 4012-46TWG2A 1

E = Lead Acid Recharge Efficiency = 1.1


BA = Battery Charger Ampere Rating
BCE = Battery Charger Efficiency
Hr = Number of hours required to recharge the battery
N = Number of cranking attempts

CrC: Cranking Current = 810 A from engine data sheet


BA = 5 A from battery charger data sheet
DSE9255 BCE = 0.885 from battery charger operator's manual
CT: Cranking Time = 15 sec = 0.00417 hr

DSE9255
Ampere-hour drawn by starter in one cranking cycle:
= Crc x CT
= 810 x 0.00416667
3.375 = 3.375 Ah
Battery Discharge Factor per cranking:
= Ah per cranking cycle/Proposed Battery Ah
0.01688 = 0.00844
Voltage drop in one cranking cycle:
= Battery Discharge Factor per cranking x Battery voltage
24 = 0.00844 x 24V
0.405 = 0.405V

After three (3) cranking attempts: N = 3


Cranking attempts 1 2 3
Voltage (V) 23.59 23.19 22.78
23.595 23.18999935
Battery Charger Ampere Rating (BA):
BA = (CrC x N x CT x E) / (Hr x BCE);
Hr = (CrC x N x CT x E) / (BA x BCE)
2.51695 = (810 x 3 x 0.00416667 x 1.1) / (5 x 0.885)
2 0.5170 = 2.517 hours
Hr = 2 hours and 31 minutes

After three (6) cranking attempts: N = 6


Cranking attempts 1 2 3 4 5 6
Voltage (V) 23.59 23.19 22.78 22.38 21.97 21.57
23.595 23.19 22.785 22.38 21.975 21.57
Battery Charger Ampere Rating (BA):
BA = (CrC x N x CT x E) / (Hr x BCE);
Hr = (CrC x N x CT x E) / (BA x BCE)
5.0339 = (810 x 6 x 0.00416667 x 1.1) / (5 x 0.885)
5 0.0339 = 5.0339 hours
Hr = 5 hours and 2 minutes
