    Subject: Re: Limiting Current to a Battery
    Some current DO-160 qualified Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries often do not limit charge current. A distinct difference in next-gen similarly qualified LFP batteries is to enable the end-user to limit charge current by programming the battery management system. There are clearly implications. Particularly for all electric aircraft. A large 28VDC 40A-hr lfp battery might be good for 700A continuous discharge and could draw 600A if fully discharged on a charge cycle. If charged with a 400A starter-generator, this could put the generation system into overload, and the limit is reached in seconds. Even a 50% discharged lfp battery of this size draws huge charge currents for not insignificant durations. It would be interesting to see the effect of critical utilisation equipment hung off a bus with this issue.

Had some similar thoughts back in the hey-day of wet ni-cads finding their way onto airplanes. A number of airplanes suffered battery fires due to high rate energy replenishment after engine start. The same conditions contributed to root cause. Smaller batteries with lower thermal mass. Lower internal resistance translating into a battery's willingness to accept replenishment. The 'fix' was to add crew monitored battery temperature warning systems to the airplane. Here's an example . . . Emacs! The idea was that when the yellow light came on, the crew would disconnect the battery from the bus until the temperature fell to happier territory. Back in those days, I was participating in a series of design programs for alternator and/or generator controllers. In numerous design reviews I proposed that our product included battery temperature monitoring that would effect automatic bus voltage reduction until such time that the battery would again accept replenishment at the high rate. Some of the twin turbine a/c had DUAL 600A generators! The idea was pushed aside as in the 'too hard' pile. We'd have to re-qualify a fleet wide array of controllers. Adding the 'band-aid' to aircraft carrying ni-cads was a much simpler solution. In years since, improvements in lead-acid technologies lowered cell impedances to the point that RG batteries were subject to discharge/recharge overheat in a/c with large generators. So lead-acid batteries began to sprout connectors to carry temperature sensor data to . . . you guessed it . . . the cockpit mounted warning system. Emacs! So here we are again. Itty bitty LiPO4 cells quite capable of producing engine cranking power are similarly at-risk for reduced service life from a pair of stresses. (1) high temperature induced by extended current flows with I(squared)R losses dumped into very low thermal mass and (2) over discharge below some voltage threshold that trashes the chemistry. Folks like Earth-X and TrueBlue have built protections into their battery. Why? Because the primary instigators of risk to the battery (charging system and battery contactor) have no idea as to the battery's condition hence not configured to do the really simple job of mitigating battery abuse. In the OBAM aviation world, we have opportunity to take the next step in power system management and control. It would be no big deal to build alternator controllers that would take battery chemistry and size into account . . . totally eliminating the need for temperature monitoring. Similarly, a battery contactor controller could be crafted to simply unhook the battery when the voltage dropped below some established limit. Perhaps its time that the DC power system be treated as an orchestra of components that play well TOGETHER. Right now, the players are marching to their own tunes with nary a care for each other's limits and needs. Bob . . .

    Look for a "poly fuse" in the aviation section of an auto parts store. These will limit current to the rated value Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Sun, Jul 7, 2019 at 10:01 AM, Jared Yates<email@jaredyates.com> wrote: I have a question that's only somewhat applicable to E/AB aviation, apologies in advance. But I think it points out a hole in my electrical understanding. The characteristics of the lithium iron battery I'm running allow it to draw lots of current really fast after the engine starts. If it has been a little while since the last flight, the alternator is at max output for several minutes. The alternator puts out all it can give, and it's less than the battery wants to take. Stepping out of the hangar, my tow vehicle circuitry includes a wire in the 7-pin connector that provides alternator voltage to the trailer, intending to charge a small battery for a breakaway emergency brake. If I install a larger battery for other purposes, perhaps one like what is in the airplane, and connect it to that line coming from the truck, it seems like it would almost certainly open the fuse on that circuit during that initial high-draw stage. These two scenarios had me thinking, what methods would one have to limit a hungry battery's draw? I'm imagining some type of circuit that takes in 12-14 volts, and puts out almost the same, but only at some specified number of amps. Almost like a DC-powered battery charging circuit, rather than just putting the battery on the bus directly. Surely this has been solved in some off-the-shelf widget, but I haven't figured out the words to google yet.

    The battery manufacturer, EarthX, wrote: > Based on extensive testing, the maximum charge rating will never be exceeded using this simple and reliable diode isolation design. https://earthxbatteries.com/dual-bus-lithium-battery-design So why not try using diodes first before trying more complicated methods to reduce the voltage and current. An assortment of diodes with various forward voltage drops could be tried. Yes, it is trial and error. But so is finding the ideal voltage output of a DC-DC converter. By the way, it is physically impossible to reduce the battery charging current without lowering the charging voltage that is connected to the battery. -------- Joe Gores Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=490144#490144

These will limit current to the rated value No, these are intended to perform the same function as breakers and fuses. Placed in series with the power path to an electrical load, they present a low resistance at or below a certain temperature. Should an overload occur, they warm past the 'trip point' where the resistance rises rapidly thus mitigating the fault current. See: https://tinyurl.com/7vt49mw https://tinyurl.com/y2uh3byy The TC aircraft world flirted with these critters on several occasions where I participated . . . and there were no doubt others. There are several power distribution products offered to the OBAM aviation community that feature Polyfuses. One of the earliest examples is the EXPBUS Emacs! Greg Richter was a proponent of Polyfuses in his designs. One proposal for light aircraft power distribution took this form: Emacs! (We had quite a discussion about both products which have been archived on AeroElectric.com if anyone is interested. Search on expbus or polyfuse. But suffice it to say that Polyfuses are not well suited for protection of power distribution feeders in aircraft. They are well suited to protection of circuitry WITHIN an electro-whizzy . . . indeed, they're sold by the millions for that purpose. They've alos found utility on some automotive applications . . . like providing electrical limit stops for power windows. Bob . . .

Current flow never goes to zero and the 'fuse' is held in the high-resistance condition at some current value well below hazardous. To 'reset' a polyfuse, you have to remove the current and allow the device to cool whereupon the magic molecules re-arrange to form the low-resistance matrix. Bob . . .
