Case Icc: Rating for a specified load profile

Given all parameters of your power application, find the required battery rating.

Load scenario

Equivalent profile: Imax = 150 A for teff = 8.00 s Umin,5s = 9.00 V, Umin,8.00s = 9.06 V

Result

With the given parameters, your application would require an Icc rating > 307 A (good accuracy).

Can you modify the minimum battery voltage?

Can you modify the peak load current?

Can you modify the minimum battery temperature?

Can you modify the minimum state of charge?

These diagrams show how the result changes with each parameter. Notice the strong impact of minimum allowed peak voltage – lowering it by 0.5 V can significantly reduce battery size requirements.
