Description
本創作係與蓄電池回復裝置有關;特別是指一種可活化蓄電池或使蓄電池放電之蓄電池活化器。This creation is related to the battery recovery device; in particular, a battery activator that activates or discharges the battery.
現今在太陽能發電、風力發電或是水力發電等綠色能源的發電系統,或是一般家用發電機、市電的火力發電,甚至是其他種類的發電設備、裝置、系統等,都可透過不同種類及容量之蓄電池的使用,藉以將所產生的能量以化學能及/或電能的形式儲存於蓄電池當中。除此之外,不僅僅只是能源及再生能源等領域當中會需要用到蓄電池來進行儲能的動作,舉凡是移動載具、電力設備乃至於家用或是工業用的不斷電系統皆有配合蓄電池進行儲能的需求,由此可見,蓄電池在我們的生活當中已是儲備能量的關鍵科技應用之一。Nowadays, power generation systems for green energy such as solar power, wind power or hydropower, or general household generators, thermal power generation for utility power, and even other types of power generation equipment, devices, systems, etc., can be transmitted through different types and capacities. The use of the battery is such that the generated energy is stored in the battery in the form of chemical energy and/or electrical energy. In addition, it is not only the energy and renewable energy fields that need to use batteries for energy storage. It is suitable for mobile vehicles, power equipment, and even household or industrial uninterruptible power systems. The need for batteries to store energy shows that batteries are one of the key technology applications for storing energy in our lives.
以下茲就其中一種蓄電池的應用例子佐為說明蓄電池的重要性,其中,所述之不斷電系統(Uninterruptible Power Supply, UPS)指的是一種不間斷的電源供應系統,可以在電器設備的電網產生異常時,為電器設備提供後備的電源,以維持電器設備的正常運作。而不斷電系統當中的蓄電池更是保障UPS可正常工作的關鍵因素之一。The following is an example of the application of one of the batteries to describe the importance of the battery. The Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) refers to an uninterrupted power supply system that can be used in the grid of electrical equipment. When an abnormality occurs, a backup power source is provided for the electrical equipment to maintain the normal operation of the electrical equipment. The battery in the uninterruptible power system is one of the key factors to ensure that the UPS can work normally.
其中,UPS系統當中的蓄電池於長期閒置或是長期處於浮充的狀態而不放電時,電池極板上就會容易產生硫酸化的現象,而生成硫酸鉛結晶吸附於電池極板。其中,該硫酸鉛結晶相當地減少了極板上的有效接觸面積,並阻斷極板間離子交換的通道,以至於蓄電池的充/放電能力下降,甚至導致蓄電池壽命縮減。Among them, when the battery in the UPS system is idle for a long time or is in a floating state for a long time without discharging, the sulphation phenomenon is easily generated on the battery plate, and the lead sulfate crystal is adsorbed on the battery plate. Among them, the lead sulfate crystals considerably reduce the effective contact area on the electrode plate and block the channel of ion exchange between the plates, so that the charge/discharge capacity of the battery decreases, and even the battery life is reduced.
是以,為了確保UPS系統的蓄電池時刻保持於良好的備用狀態,目前的作法在於透過人工的方式,定期地將蓄電池拆下,以離線的方式進行電壓、電量的檢測,以及配合蓄電池活化和放電作業。然而,由於UPS系統之蓄電池的配置通常是由多顆蓄電池串聯在一起,且為了避免UPS系統占用過多的空間,此些蓄電池通常是被設置於狹小的容置空間中,因此,維護人員要自狹小的空間將蓄電池拆下是非常不方便的。除此之外,目前未有一套蓄電池活化設備可同時對蓄電池進行活化以及過飽和放電作業,是以,目前蓄電池的保養維護技術仍有亟待改進的地方。Therefore, in order to ensure that the battery of the UPS system is always in a good standby state, the current practice is to periodically remove the battery by manual means, perform voltage and power detection in an off-line manner, and cooperate with battery activation and discharge. operation. However, since the configuration of the battery of the UPS system is usually connected in series by a plurality of batteries, and in order to prevent the UPS system from occupying too much space, the batteries are usually disposed in a small accommodating space, and therefore, maintenance personnel must It is very inconvenient to remove the battery in a small space. In addition, there is currently no battery activation device that can activate the battery and supersaturation discharge at the same time. Therefore, there is still room for improvement in battery maintenance technology.
有鑑於此,本創作之目的在於提供一種蓄電池活化器,可整合蓄電池的活化與充放電的作業,以確保蓄電池保持在良好的備用狀態。In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a battery activator that can integrate the activation and charging and discharging operations of the battery to ensure that the battery is kept in a good standby state.

In an embodiment, preferably, the pulse current generated by the pulse current generating module 20 has a duty ratio of not less than 10% and not more than 80%, that is, the duty ratio is 10% to Between 80%, the reason why the duty ratio is selected within this interval is that the polarization phenomenon formed by the difference in the internal ion concentration of the battery B can be reduced, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the battery B.
其中,該電源供應單元22可以是獨立的電源,或者是作為一電源升壓器之用,自該微控制器18接收一電能後經升壓再傳輸電能予該第一脈衝電流產生單元24。The power supply unit 22 can be an independent power supply or can be used as a power booster.

藉此,前述蓄電池活化器即可運用下列的蓄電池活化方法,請配合圖3所示的流程圖,所述的活化方法包含有以下步驟:Therefore, the battery activation device can use the following battery activation method. Please cooperate with the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, and the activation method includes the following steps:
步驟A:偵測該蓄電池的電壓值。於本實施例當中,係透過該運算處理模組10偵測並獲得該蓄電池B的電壓值。Step A: Detect the voltage value of the battery. In the embodiment, the voltage value of the battery B is detected and obtained through the arithmetic processing module 10.
步驟B:比較步驟A所測得之該蓄電池的電壓值與一參考電壓值的大小。於本實施例中,該微控制器18的一個儲存位置(圖未示)中係儲存有一參考電壓值,該參考電壓值係可依據所欲進行活化方法之蓄電池的額定電壓值來設定,例如,本實施例當中的蓄電池之額定電壓值為13.5V,因此該參考電壓值就可依照需求同樣設定為13.5V。藉此,該微控制器18於接收到所測得之蓄電池B的電壓值時,便可將之與該參考電壓值進行比較。另外,該參考電壓值不僅可以設定為一個確切的電壓值,於其他實際實施上,亦可設定為一個電壓區間,例如:設定為12.5V~14.5V,而不以上述實施例為限。Step B: Compare the voltage value of the battery measured by step A with the magnitude of a reference voltage value. In this embodiment, a storage voltage (not shown) of the microcontroller 18 stores a reference voltage value, which can be set according to the rated voltage value of the battery in which the activation method is to be performed, for example, In the present embodiment, the rated voltage of the battery is 13.5V, so the reference voltage value can be set to 13.5V as required. Thereby, the microcontroller 18 can compare the measured voltage value of the battery B with the reference voltage value. In addition, the reference voltage value can be set to an exact voltage value. In other practical implementations, it can also be set to a voltage interval, for example, set to 12.5V to 14.5V, and is not limited to the above embodiment.
步驟C.:依據步驟B的比較結果,驅使該蓄電池進行充電或放電。於本實施例當中,於該微控制器18進行電壓值的比對後,主要有以下三種情況:Step C.: Drive the battery to charge or discharge according to the comparison result of step B. In this embodiment, after the microcontroller 18 performs the voltage value comparison, there are mainly three cases:
(1)當該蓄電池B的電壓值低於該參考電壓值時,該微控制器18即控制該電源供應單元22輸出電能予該第一脈衝電流產生單元24,使該第一脈衝電流產生單元24輸出脈衝電流予該蓄電池B,以對該蓄電池B充電。較佳者,該第一脈衝電流產生單元24係輸出方波波形的脈衝電流予該蓄電池B,以間歇地方式對該蓄電池B進行充電,藉此,使得該蓄電池B內部因充電化學反應而產生的氫與氧有時間可重新化合而被吸收,藉以降低因蓄電池B內部離子濃度差異而形成的極化現象,進而提升蓄電池B的充電效率。另外一提的是,當所測的之該蓄電池的電壓值係低於一警戒電壓值(其中該警戒電壓值係小於該參考電壓值,例如可設定為7V)時,該微控制器18更可控制該第一脈衝電流產生單元24所輸出之脈衝電流的占空比(Duty Cycle)向上提升,藉以提高該蓄電池的充電效率。(1) When the voltage value of the battery B is lower than the reference voltage value, the microcontroller 18 controls the power supply unit 22 to output electric energy to the first pulse current generating unit 24, so that the first pulse current generating unit 24 outputs a pulse current to the battery B to charge the battery B. Preferably, the first pulse current generating unit 24 outputs a pulse current of a square wave waveform to the battery B to charge the battery B in an intermittent manner, thereby causing the battery B to generate a charge due to a charging chemical reaction. The hydrogen and oxygen have time to be recombined and absorbed, thereby reducing the polarization phenomenon caused by the difference in the internal ion concentration of the battery B, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the battery B. In addition, when the measured voltage value of the battery is lower than a warning voltage value (where the warning voltage value is less than the reference voltage value, for example, can be set to 7V), the microcontroller 18 further The duty cycle (Duty Cycle) of the pulse current outputted by the first pulse current generating unit 24 can be controlled to be raised upward, thereby improving the charging efficiency of the battery.
(2)當該蓄電池B的電壓值實質上等於該參考電壓值時,該微控制器18則先不對該蓄電池B進行充電或放電的動作,而是跳回步驟A持續監測該蓄電池B的電壓值情況。(2) When the voltage value of the battery B is substantially equal to the reference voltage value, the microcontroller 18 does not charge or discharge the battery B first, but jumps back to step A to continuously monitor the voltage of the battery B. Value situation.
(3)當該蓄電池B的電壓值大於該參考電壓值時,該微控制器18則控制該第二脈衝電流產生單元36輸出脈衝訊號予開關元件32,以使該開關元件32交替地導通與截止,藉以控制該放電電路30形成一放電路徑,供該蓄電池B放電。較佳者,該第二脈衝電流產生單元36所輸出的脈衝訊號係以鋸齒波波形的PWM訊號為佳。(3) When the voltage value of the battery B is greater than the reference voltage value, the microcontroller 18 controls the second pulse current generating unit 36 to output a pulse signal to the switching element 32 to alternately turn on the switching element 32. By the end, the discharge circuit 30 is controlled to form a discharge path for discharging the battery B. Preferably, the pulse signal output by the second pulse current generating unit 36 is preferably a PWM signal of a sawtooth waveform.
其中,選用鋸齒波波形的脈衝訊號效果在於,可優化該蓄電池B的放電過程與效率,舉例來說:請配合圖4A所示,為使用方波波形之脈衝訊號控制蓄電池進行放電時,蓄電池之電壓與放電時間之關係曲線圖由圖中可看出,蓄電池因受UPS端的漣波與共模電壓之影響,其放電時的電壓值會產生震盪而有不穩定放電的情況發生;反觀圖4B所示,為使用鋸齒波之脈衝訊號控制蓄電池進行放電時,蓄電池之電壓與放電時間之關係曲線圖,由圖中可看出,使用鋸齒波之脈衝訊號相較於方波之脈衝訊號來說,其較不受UPS端的漣波與共模電壓的影響,放電時的電壓值相對地可迅速、平穩的回復至理想的電壓值。由此可見,透過鋸齒波之脈衝訊號控制蓄電池的放電,是可保護、延長蓄電池壽命之較為理想、完善的解決方案。Among them, the effect of selecting the pulse signal of the sawtooth waveform is to optimize the discharge process and efficiency of the battery B. For example, please cooperate with the pulse signal of the square wave waveform to control the storage of the battery as shown in FIG. 4A. The relationship between voltage and discharge time can be seen from the figure. The battery is affected by the chopping and common mode voltage of the UPS terminal, and the voltage value during discharge will be oscillated and unstable discharge occurs. Figure 4B As shown in the figure, the relationship between the voltage of the battery and the discharge time when the battery is discharged using the pulse signal of the sawtooth wave, as can be seen from the figure, the pulse signal using the sawtooth wave is compared with the pulse signal of the square wave. It is less affected by the chopping and common mode voltage of the UPS terminal, and the voltage value during discharge can relatively quickly and smoothly return to the ideal voltage value. It can be seen that controlling the discharge of the battery through the pulse signal of the sawtooth wave is an ideal and perfect solution for protecting and extending the life of the battery.
步驟D:再次偵測該蓄電池的電壓值,並依據偵測結果執行以下動作,其中例示性地揭露有以下兩種情況:Step D: detecting the voltage value of the battery again, and performing the following actions according to the detection result, wherein the following two situations are exemplarily disclosed:
(1)當已輸出該脈衝電流予該蓄電池經過一預設時間後,而該蓄電池B的電壓值仍小於該參考電壓時,此時即代表著該蓄電池B內部的硫酸鉛結晶或硫酸鹽化現象較為嚴重,因此無法順利充電,因此,該微控制器18即可控制該第一脈衝電流產生單元24提高其所輸出脈衝電流的占空比,藉以提升該蓄電池的充電效果。其中上述的預設時間係指給予該蓄電池一定的充電時間,或者是作為觀察該蓄電池是否可順利充電的等待時間,例如該預設時間可以依照使用者設定成5分鐘或10分鐘等。(1) When the pulse current has been output to the battery for a predetermined period of time, and the voltage value of the battery B is still less than the reference voltage, then the lead sulfate crystal or sulphate inside the battery B is represented. The phenomenon is serious, so that the charging cannot be performed smoothly. Therefore, the microcontroller 18 can control the first pulse current generating unit 24 to increase the duty ratio of the pulse current outputted therefrom, thereby improving the charging effect of the battery. The preset time mentioned above refers to a certain charging time given to the battery, or as a waiting time for observing whether the battery can be smoothly charged. For example, the preset time can be set to 5 minutes or 10 minutes according to the user.
(2)當該蓄電池B的電壓值實質上等於該參考電壓值時,換言之,該蓄電池B已順利地充飽電,而其電壓值已回到理想的待機電壓值,此時,該微控制器18並可控制該第一脈衝電流產生單元24停止輸出該脈衝電流予該蓄電池,或者是控制該第二脈衝電流產生單元36停止輸出脈衝訊號予該開關元件32,使該開關元件32截止,藉以關閉放電路徑,使得該蓄電池B停止放電。(2) When the voltage value of the battery B is substantially equal to the reference voltage value, in other words, the battery B has been fully charged, and its voltage value has returned to the ideal standby voltage value. At this time, the micro control The controller 18 can control the first pulse current generating unit 24 to stop outputting the pulse current to the battery, or control the second pulse current generating unit 36 to stop outputting the pulse signal to the switching element 32, and the switching element 32 is turned off. Thereby, the discharge path is closed, so that the battery B stops discharging.
值得一提的是,於一實施例當中,所述的運算處理模組10係可每隔一預定時間偵測該蓄電池B之電壓值,且該運算處理模組10於首次偵測到該蓄電池B的電壓值低於參考電壓值時,係先控制脈衝電流產生模組20輸出占空比介於10%~20%之間的脈衝電流予蓄電池B,以對蓄電池B充電,較佳者,係先以占空比為15%的脈衝電流對蓄電池B充電。而後,當運算處理模組10再次偵測該蓄電池B之電壓值而充電效果不甚理想時,例如:電壓值沒有顯著地增加、或未達到所預期的電壓值時,甚至是所測得之電壓值不大於前一次所測得之電壓值時,則可控制該脈衝電流產生模組20提升所輸出的占空比,且所提升之占空比的提升量介於1%至20%之間。It is to be noted that, in an embodiment, the computing processing module 10 can detect the voltage value of the battery B every predetermined time, and the computing processing module 10 detects the battery for the first time. When the voltage value of B is lower than the reference voltage value, the pulse current generation module 20 is first controlled to output a pulse current with a duty ratio between 10% and 20% to the battery B to charge the battery B. Preferably, The battery B is first charged with a pulse current having a duty ratio of 15%. Then, when the operation processing module 10 detects the voltage value of the battery B again and the charging effect is not satisfactory, for example, when the voltage value does not increase significantly, or the expected voltage value is not reached, even the measured value is obtained. When the voltage value is not greater than the voltage value measured in the previous time, the pulse current generating module 20 can be controlled to increase the duty ratio of the output, and the boosted duty ratio is increased by 1% to 20%. between.
舉例來說,於一第一時間區段之內對蓄電池B充電之脈衝電流的占空比為15%,而蓄電池B的充電效果不甚理想時,那麼,即可在接下來的一第二時間區段當中,提升對蓄電池B充電之脈衝電流的占空比,例如以占空比為25%的脈衝電流來對蓄電池B進行充電,即,本次充電之脈衝電流的占空比相較於前次充電之脈衝電流的占空比提升量為10%;而當再充電一段時間之後,充電效果仍不甚理想,則可再度調整脈衝電流的占空比,例如將脈衝電流的占空比再提升為35%甚至40%以對蓄電池B充電。亦即,欲提升蓄電池的充電效果,係可採取逐步提升脈衝電流之占空比的方式為之。For example, the duty cycle of the pulse current for charging the battery B within a first time zone is 15%, and when the charging effect of the battery B is not ideal, then, the next one can be In the time zone, the duty ratio of the pulse current for charging the battery B is raised, for example, the battery current is charged by a pulse current having a duty ratio of 25%, that is, the duty ratio of the pulse current of the current charging is compared. The duty cycle increase of the pulse current of the previous charge is 10%; and when the charging effect is still not ideal after recharging for a period of time, the duty cycle of the pulse current can be adjusted again, for example, the duty of the pulse current The ratio is increased to 35% or even 40% to charge the battery B. That is, in order to improve the charging effect of the battery, it is possible to adopt a method of gradually increasing the duty ratio of the pulse current.
另外一提的是,於一實施例當中,所述之運算處理模組係可控制該脈衝電流產生模組逐步地增加其所產生之脈衝電流的占空比來對蓄電池進行充電,舉例來說,假設起始之脈衝電流的占空比為15%,那麼便可隨著時間的變化,例如每隔10分鐘增加占空比10%(亦即占空比由15%增加至25%)的方式,持續增加充電之脈衝電流占空比,直到蓄電池的電壓值趨近於等於該蓄電池的額定電壓值為止,如此一來,可更進一步提升蓄電池的活化充電效率。另於其他實施例當中,其起始脈衝電流的占空比並不以15%為限,亦可改採其他數值,且逐步增加之脈衝電流之占空比的提升量亦不以10%為限,當然亦可依據實際的使用需求,以及配合所欲活化之蓄電池的規格作適當的調整。In addition, in an embodiment, the arithmetic processing module can control the pulse current generating module to gradually increase the duty ratio of the pulse current generated by the pulse current generating module to charge the battery, for example, for example. Assuming that the duty cycle of the initial pulse current is 15%, then the duty cycle can be increased by 10% over time, for example, every 10 minutes (ie, the duty cycle is increased from 15% to 25%). In this way, the pulse current duty cycle of the charging is continuously increased until the voltage value of the battery approaches the rated voltage value of the battery, so that the activation charging efficiency of the battery can be further improved. In other embodiments, the duty cycle of the initial pulse current is not limited to 15%, and other values may be used, and the duty ratio of the stepped pulse current is not increased by 10%. The limit can of course be adjusted according to the actual use requirements and the specifications of the battery to be activated.
藉此,透過本創作之蓄電池活化器配合上述的活化方法,於蓄電池B的電壓值偏低時,可透過脈衝電流對該蓄電池B進行有效率的充電;並且於蓄電池B的電壓值偏高時,可透過PWM訊號控制放電電路的導通與截止,藉以使該蓄電池放電而回到理想的電壓值或電壓值區間之內。是以,本創作之蓄電池活化器除具有在線監測蓄電池情況的功效之外,更具有去除蓄電池硫酸鉛結晶的活化功能以及蓄電池電量過飽放電等雙重功效。Thereby, the battery activator of the present invention is combined with the activation method described above, and when the voltage value of the battery B is low, the battery B can be efficiently charged by the pulse current; and when the voltage value of the battery B is high The conduction and the cut-off of the discharge circuit can be controlled by the PWM signal, so that the battery is discharged and returned to the ideal voltage value or voltage value range. Therefore, in addition to the function of monitoring the battery condition on-line, the battery activator of the present invention has the dual functions of removing the activation function of the battery lead sulfate crystal and the battery full-charge discharge.
另外,透過條件式的設定,例如以蓄電池檢測步驟循環的次數是否達到一預定次數之方式,來重複執行上述步驟A至步驟D的活化方法,而可達到持續監測蓄電池的效果。其中,所循環執行的預定次數係可依據蓄電池平均壽命來制定,或者由使用者自定義。Further, by the setting of the conditional expression, for example, whether the number of cycles of the battery detecting step is a predetermined number of times, the activation method of the above steps A to D is repeatedly performed, and the effect of continuously monitoring the battery can be achieved. The predetermined number of cycles to be executed may be determined according to the average life of the battery, or may be customized by the user.
值得一提的是,於前述活化方法之步驟D之後,更可增加有一步驟:偵測該蓄電池B的電壓值,若該蓄電池的電壓值仍小於該參考電壓值時,發出一警示訊息。其中,經過前述步驟的處理之後,若該蓄電池的電壓值仍然無法回復到理想電壓值範圍內,這就表示該蓄電池可能已無法再度回復,或是於電路上有發生若干故障的問題,因此,該蓄電池活化器便可主動發出警示訊息告知相關人員前來處理。其中,該警示訊息可以是透過有線或無線之方式傳送警訊通知相關的維護人員前來故障排除或者是將該蓄電池汰換掉,又或者該警示訊息可以是透過聲音或是視覺上的閃爍效果來發出警示。It is worth mentioning that after step D of the foregoing activation method, a step may be further added: detecting the voltage value of the battery B, and issuing a warning message if the voltage value of the battery is still less than the reference voltage value. After the processing of the foregoing steps, if the voltage value of the battery still cannot be restored to the ideal voltage value range, it means that the battery may not be able to recover again, or there are several faults on the circuit, therefore, The battery activator can actively send a warning message to inform the relevant personnel to come forward. The warning message may be that the maintenance personnel related to transmitting the alert notification by wire or wirelessly come to troubleshoot or replace the battery, or the warning message may be through sound or visual flickering effect. To issue a warning.
另外,於蓄電池活化器的電路板上,亦可設置有多個以LED所構成提示燈,該些提示燈分別與各該蓄電池所配合的微控制器電性連接,而可分別反映出各該蓄電池的狀態,以供技術人員檢視,舉例來說:當蓄電池的電壓值、電容量正常,處於正常可運作的狀態時,所屬的提示燈之燈號即可顯示綠燈,用以表示蓄電池可正常運作;當蓄電池處於低容量狀態,而無法提供預定額度的電壓時,所屬的提示燈的燈號即可顯示紅燈,用以表示蓄電池容量過低的狀態;當蓄電池完全無法正常運作時,則所屬的提示燈號可採完全不亮的方式,用以表示蓄電池已故障,以提示技術人員前來故障排除。In addition, on the circuit board of the battery activator, a plurality of indicator lights formed by LEDs may be disposed, and the indicator lights are electrically connected to the microcontrollers of the batteries, respectively, and may respectively reflect the respective The state of the battery is for the technician to check. For example: when the voltage value and capacity of the battery are normal and in normal working state, the indicator light of the indicator light can display a green light to indicate that the battery can be normal. Operation; when the battery is in a low capacity state and cannot provide a predetermined amount of voltage, the indicator light of the associated indicator light can display a red light to indicate that the battery capacity is too low; when the battery is completely unable to operate normally, then The associated indicator light can be completely unlit to indicate that the battery has failed, to prompt the technician to come to troubleshoot.
另外一提的是,透過前述將多個活化裝置2為群組一起設置於該電路板1的設置方式,該蓄電池活化器之一塊電路板可同時對應多顆蓄電池使用,即一對多的使用,藉此,可有效提升技術人員為不斷電系統裝配蓄電池活化器之效率,除此之外,該蓄電池活化器整合了在線脈衝充電以及脈衝放電等兩種功能,更大大簡化了維護不斷電系統之蓄電池組的流程。In addition, through the foregoing arrangement of the plurality of activation devices 2 being disposed in the circuit board 1 in a group, one of the battery activators can be used for a plurality of batteries at the same time, that is, one-to-many use. In this way, the efficiency of the technician to assemble the battery activator for the uninterruptible power system can be effectively improved. In addition, the battery activator integrates two functions such as online pulse charging and pulse discharge, which greatly simplifies maintenance. The flow of the battery pack of the electrical system.
再一提的是,本創作的蓄電池活化器係建構於一電路板上整合有兩個以上之活化裝置的設計,於實務上,該電路板上所配置的活化裝置數量係可依照使用需求進行調整。另外,若所需進行檢測、在線維護的蓄電池僅有一顆時,該電路板上亦可僅設置一個活化裝置,或是將一個活化裝置直接與該蓄電池電性連接即可。In addition, the battery activator of the present invention is constructed by integrating more than two activation devices on a circuit board. In practice, the number of activation devices disposed on the circuit board can be performed according to the use requirements. Adjustment. In addition, if only one battery is required for detection and online maintenance, only one activation device may be disposed on the circuit board, or an activation device may be directly connected to the battery.
除此之外,使用者透過一管理程式監控各該活化裝置所對應之各該蓄電池的現況或進行活化的歷史紀錄,藉以了解那些蓄電池的電量有經常性流失的異常,或是活化效率不佳等問題。另外,更可均等該些蓄電池的電壓值,確保該些蓄電池的電壓值可實質上一致或近乎一致,使得各該蓄電池保持於均充的狀態,以及減少電池浮充等問題產生。In addition, the user monitors the current status of each of the batteries corresponding to the activation device or records the activation history through a management program to understand the abnormality of the battery power loss or the activation efficiency is poor.
