- the amount of discharge electricity at a large current accompanying driving of a motor or the like from a full charge is sufficiently large as in the conventional case, the amount of discharge electricity by a dark current is relatively small (the proportion of lead sulfate having a large crystal is small). Therefore, the lead sulfate having a large crystal generated by the dark current discharge can be returned to the charged product while being inefficient by the subsequent full charge.
- the proportion of lead sulfate having a large crystal increases when the amount of discharge electricity by a dark current is relatively large.
- the amount of electricity discharged by dark current is calculated as a part of the total amount of discharged electricity, and is handled separately from the normal amount of electricity discharged.
- the amount of charged electricity alone cannot return most of the lead sulfate with large crystals to the charged product. For this reason, insufficient charging occurs, and as a result, the life characteristics of the lead storage battery are impaired.

- Mainly used environment That is, in a usage environment where an auxiliary power source or the like is used for supplying dark current and a lead-acid battery is used only for supplying a large current to a motor or the like, lead sulfate having a large crystal was hardly generated. Therefore, it has been difficult to find out the problems associated with the increase in the ratio of the amount of discharge electricity due to dark current as in this case. The dark current will be described later.

- Example 1-2 in which the first coefficient ⁇ is increased in proportion to the first discharge electricity quantity D1 due to the dark current and the second stage charging time (charging time T2), which is the final stage, is increased.
- Excellent life characteristics The reason for this is that a sufficient amount of charged electricity C is given immediately after the amount of lead sulfate with large crystals increases (the first discharge electricity quantity D1 due to the dark current becomes large).
- overcharge is avoided by reducing the amount of charge C.
- each discharge pattern The representative value based on the average value of the first coefficient ⁇ suitable for the above (for example, the average value 1.53 of 1.2, 1.5, 1.9 used as the coefficient ⁇ of the discharge patterns L to N) is fixed. Even if it is used as a value, at least the same effect as that of Example 1-1 can be expected.
- storage part 31 should just preserve
- FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the maintenance rate of the discharge capacity.
- the three discharge patterns L to N were sequentially repeated in the discharge, but here, the above-described case of the present invention in the case where the discharge was repeated with one discharge pattern. The effect by embodiment is shown.
- Comparative Example 2 regardless of the discharge patterns L to N, attention is paid only to the total discharge electricity Da, and this is multiplied by 1.1 (a value equal to the second coefficient ⁇ ) as a coefficient.
- This charging / discharging was repeated, and the discharge capacity of the lead storage battery was measured at the 600th cycle as described above.

Abstract
Description
最初に、本発明の原理について説明する。発明者らは、全体の放電電気量に占める、特殊電動車両が駆動している時間以外の放電電気量(いわゆる暗電流による放電電気量)の割合が大きいと、これまで好ましいとされてきた充電方法では鉛蓄電池を満充電状態にすることが困難になることを知見した。そのロジックは、以下の通りであると推察できる。
次に、本発明の好ましい実施の形態を、図を用いて説明する。
C2=D2×β (2)
C=C1+C2 (3)
以下に、本発明の上記実施形態の効果を実施例及び比較例によって示す。
まず、図5の放電パターンLに示す駆動期間X1~X4と休止期間Y1~Y4との放電を行った。そして、駆動期間X1~X4における放電電気量D2と休止期間Y1~Y4における放電電気量D1を合算して総放電電気量Daとし、これに係数として1.1(第2係数βに等しい値)を乗じた充電電気量Ca(Ca=Da×1.1)となるよう、駆動期間X4の後に2段定電流充電を行った。続いて、図5の放電パターンMに示す駆動期間X1~X4と休止期間Y1~Y4との放電を行い、放電パターンLの後と同じ条件の充電(充電電気量Ca=Da×1.1)を行った。さらに、図5の放電パターンNに示す駆動期間X1~X4と休止期間Y1~Y4の放電を行い、放電パターンLの後と同じ条件の充電(充電電気量Ca=Da×1.1)を行った。これらの充放電は、SOCが50%に達する放電を行ってから満充電状態まで充電を行うモードに相当する。上述の要領で測定された放電容量の推移が図6に示される。
上述のように、比較例1-1と同様に、各放電パターンL~Nの後で、2段定電流充電を行っている。但し、実施例1-1では、上記実施形態で説明されたように、総放電電気量Dを駆動期間X1~X4における第2放電電気量D2と、休止期間Y1~Y4における第1放電電気量D1とに分けている。そして、第1放電電気量D1に第1係数αとして1.5を乗じた第1充電電気量C1と、第2放電電気量D2に第2係数βとして1.1を乗じた第2充電電気量C2との和として、充電電気量Cを求めている。これ以外は、比較例1-1と同様に充放電を繰り返した。比較例1-1と同じ上述の要領で測定された放電容量の推移が図6に併記される。
実施例1-2では、実施例1-1に対して、各放電パターンL~Nに対して充電電気量Cの算出に用いられる第1係数αの値を異ならせている。すなわち、実施例1-2では、放電パターンLの場合は第1係数αを1.2とし、放電パターンMの場合は第1係数αを1.5とし、放電パターンNの場合は第1係数αを1.9として、充電電気量Cを求めている。これ以外は実施例1-1と同様に充放電を繰り返した。比較例1-1と同じ上述の要領で測定された放電容量の推移が図6に併記される。
図7は放電容量の維持率を示す図である。比較例1-1、実施例1-1および1-2では、放電において3つの放電パターンL~Nを順に繰り返したが、ここでは1つの放電パターンで放電を繰り返した場合における、本発明の上記実施形態による効果を示す。
本発明は上記実施形態に限られない。以下、本発明の他の実施形態が説明される。
