Battery Terminology and Usage Basics in Solar Street Light Systems
Batteries play a crucial role in solar street lighting systems, serving as the core component for solar energy storage. Understanding basic battery terminology helps improve system performance, extend battery lifespan, and reduce maintenance costs.

1. Battery Capacity
Battery capacity is a key performance indicator for solar lithium battery packs and storage systems.
- Definition: The amount of electric charge a battery can deliver under specific discharge conditions, measured in ampere-hours (Ah) or milliampere-hours (mAh).
- Types:
- Theoretical Capacity: The maximum energy based on the active material content, calculated via Faraday's law.
- Rated Capacity: Also known as guaranteed capacity, defined by national or industry standards.
- Actual Capacity: The real output under working conditions, typically lower than rated capacity.
- Specific Capacity: The capacity per unit weight (mAh/g) or volume (mAh/cm³), often used for comparing different solar battery technologies.
In solar street lights, battery capacity determines how long lighting can last during nighttime.
2. Internal Resistance
Internal resistance directly affects the charge/discharge efficiency and voltage stability of solar lithium batteries.
- Definition: The resistance encountered by current flowing inside the battery.
- Variation Factors: Changes over time during discharge due to electrolyte concentration, temperature, and active material conditions.
- Components:
- Ohmic Resistance: Follows Ohm’s Law.
- Polarization Resistance:
- Electrochemical Polarization
- Concentration Polarization
- Effect:
- During discharge: output voltage drops.
- During charge: voltage rises above open-circuit voltage.
Lower internal resistance is crucial for stable performance in solar-powered LED street lights.
3. Load Capability of Lithium Batteries
- Definition: The ability of the battery to supply power to connected loads, such as solar street lamp fixtures.
- Practical Significance: A battery with higher load capability supports high-brightness, high-power solar lighting systems.
4. Internal Pressure of Lithium Batteries
- Definition: The gas pressure inside sealed batteries, resulting from gas generated during chemical reactions.
- Causes: Water content or organic electrolyte decomposition.
- Influencing Factors: Materials, manufacturing process, and battery design.
In high-quality solar battery storage systems, proper internal pressure control prevents swelling and damage.
5. C-Rate Discharge Ability
Understanding C-rate is essential for optimizing charge and discharge strategies in solar energy storage applications.
- What is C-Rate:
- 1C = Full discharge in 1 hour.
- 0.5C = Discharge in 2 hours.
- 2C = Discharge in 30 minutes.
- Example:
A 1100mAh battery: - 1C discharge = 1100mA current for 1 hour
- 0.2C discharge = 220mA current for 5 hours
