However, the above conventional method has the following problems. In the method of monitoring the change in the battery voltage of a lead storage battery, there is a voltage variation due to a battery-specific difference, and when a large number of lead storage batteries are used in series, the variation is added up and becomes large and lacks accuracy. However, in practice, there is no choice but to monitor with sufficient margin. Although the method of estimating the remaining capacity by discharging the lead storage battery is accurate, it is necessary to provide a device for discharging the lead storage battery, and it is not possible to cope with an abnormality occurring in the commercial power supply during the discharging period. Even when the lead storage battery is suddenly discharged, a device for discharging the lead storage battery must be provided. Although the method based on the internal resistance of the lead-acid battery has relatively small variation and does not require a device for discharging, it is a good method, but long-term use of the lead-acid battery is desired, and more accurate state monitoring is desired. .

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An alternating current can be applied to a stationary lead-acid battery during floating charging with a small charging current, and the internal resistance can be determined from the applied current and the response voltage. This internal resistance changes with a change in the state of charge of the lead storage battery, that is, a change in the remaining capacity. That is, the internal resistance increases as the remaining capacity decreases. Therefore, the remaining capacity of the lead storage battery can be monitored by measuring the internal resistance of the lead storage battery.

However, the relationship between the internal resistance and the remaining capacity of a lead-acid battery having a predetermined nominal capacity is actually investigated, and the power of the load can no longer be supplied when the remaining capacity drops to a predetermined remaining capacity, for example, 80% of the nominal capacity. As a so-called service life, the state of the lead storage battery in which a plurality of lead storage batteries are connected in series is monitored using the internal resistance value at that time, and the remaining capacity of the plurality of lead storage batteries when the predetermined internal resistance value is reached is actually discharged. Inspection revealed that some of them had not reached 80% yet, and some had significantly less than 80%. When the difference was converted to a period, it was found that in extreme cases, it could take up to a year.

Therefore, the inventors of the present invention have determined the rate of change of the internal resistance,

However, since the measured value of the internal resistance actually changes due to the noise from the power supply of the floating charge or the change of the floating charge, the rate of change at each time is obtained. Since there may be a predetermined change rate, the average value of the internal resistance on a weekly or monthly basis is obtained,
This proved that it was necessary to see the rate of change.

Further, since these stationary lead-acid batteries supply electric power to the load in the event of a commercial power failure, a remaining capacity that can supply a sufficient amount of electric power to the load is required. It is necessary to replace this as a lifetime. In this case, as described above, only by monitoring the state of the lead storage battery based on the rate of change of the internal resistance value, it is possible to confirm when the life has expired, but it is not possible to predict when the life will end.
Therefore, the present inventors store the average value of the internal resistance in a certain period in a time-series manner, obtain an approximate expression indicating the relationship between the average value of the internal resistance and the period from the change over time, and calculate the change in the internal resistance based on the expression. The timing at which the rate becomes equal to or more than a predetermined value is predicted, and the predicted timing is displayed as the lead battery replacement time.

More specifically, FIG. 1 shows the change over time of the average value of the internal resistance of a sealed lead-acid battery every six months from the sixth year to the eighth year. The vertical axis represents the average value of the internal resistance for six months, and the horizontal axis represents the number of years of use of the lead-acid battery. The average value of the internal resistance was expressed as a relative value with the initial design internal resistance value of the lead storage battery being 100. The expression of the cubic function of Expression 1 was obtained as the expression that is most approximated to each plotted point.

Then, when the ratio a of the two equations is 1.1, that is, when a / yb = 1.1 is obtained, a = 8.
It becomes 17. Therefore, after starting to use the lead storage battery, 8.
It can be predicted that the batteries will need to be replaced after 17 years. In fact, the lead storage battery maintained 85% of the remaining capacity in the eighth year, but after 8.5 years, the remaining capacity was reduced to 76%, confirming the accuracy of the prediction.

Embodiment 1 An embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Commercial power supply 1
Is connected to the load 3 via the rectification / control unit 2 and
The lead storage battery 4 is connected in parallel with the load. As the lead storage battery 4, 12 fully charged sealed lead storage batteries were connected in series, and a 1A floating charging current was continuously supplied to the lead storage batteries connected in series. An alternating current application line 5 is connected to the positive and negative terminals of each lead-acid battery, and once a day by a timer from the internal resistance measuring device 6 to the lead-acid battery 4 from the application line 5 to 20 Hz.
, And input the information of the response voltage and the phase difference to the arithmetic unit 7 to calculate the internal resistance. The calculated internal resistance is obtained from a thermistor (not shown) fixed to the side of the battery case of each lead storage battery. The temperature is measured, and this is calculated in advance by the arithmetic unit 7 in the storage unit R.
The measured internal resistance value was temperature-corrected by a calibration curve indicating the correlation between the temperature and the internal resistance stored in the AM 8 and stored in the storage unit RAM 8 in time series. Then, the internal resistance value for the past six months stored every six months by the ROM 9 in which the program is stored is averaged by an arithmetic unit to obtain an average value.
This was stored in the storage unit RAM 8 in time series as an internal resistance average value. Then, the rate of change was obtained by comparing with the average value of the internal resistance for the immediately preceding six months. When the rate of change exceeds 110%, "life" is displayed on the display device 10.

The arithmetic unit performs an arithmetic operation according to the flowchart shown in FIG. First, a timer is started to check whether or not the lead storage battery is floatingly charged. As described above, the lead storage battery is discharged when the commercial power supply becomes abnormal such as a power outage,
It supplies power to the load. Then, after the commercial power is restored, when the battery is charged by the commercial power and fully charged, the battery is float-charged again, but when discharging or charging the lead storage battery, no alternating current is applied and the internal resistance is not measured. . To do so, an alternating current is applied periodically only when the lead storage battery is in floating charge. The state of the floating charge was determined by monitoring the voltage of the lead storage battery. Then, the internal resistance is measured based on the applied AC current and the response voltage at that time, and the internal resistance is stored in the storage unit. Then, it is determined by a timer whether half a year has elapsed. Prepare. If half a year has passed, the internal resistance value for the six months previously stored is calculated and the average value is calculated, this is stored in the storage unit, and then the average value of the internal resistance obtained this time and the previous value are calculated. The average value is compared to calculate the rate of change, and as a result 11
If it is 0% or less, reset the timer and restart the timer to record the next half year. In this case, instead of erasing the previous data and rewriting it with new data, the previous data is left and new data is stored for the next half year. At that time, it was stored together with the chronological data of the first half year and the half year. If the rate of change exceeds 110%, the life is displayed and the program is terminated. The display is to be continuously displayed.

An alternating current of a constant frequency of 20 Hz is applied by the internal resistance measuring device 6 at a rate of the number of times, the internal resistance is calculated based on the specific response voltage, and the average value of the internal resistance for half a year is obtained every six months and the state is monitored. As a result, the display of the life was displayed after about six months.

[Embodiment 2] Further, the present invention predicts the life time based on the change of the change rate in the middle. The device is the same as that described in FIG. The difference is the program of the arithmetic unit. FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of the calculation of the program stored in the recording ROM 9 in this case. The same applies to the above case up to the point where the average value of the internal resistance for six months from the start is stored, but thereafter, it is determined whether or not the rate of change is equal to or more than 108%. When the rate of change is 108% or more, the relationship between the time and the average value of the internal resistance is calculated from the data of the past two years, that is, the change with the time series of the average value of the internal resistance and the change with time. An approximate formula is calculated based on the formula, and the time when the rate of change of the average value of the internal resistance exceeds 110% is calculated, and the calculated time is displayed on the display unit as the life, that is, the replacement time of the storage battery. .
