Substation batteries
Substation batteries
(OP)
Can someone explain to me why voltage regulators or boost converters are never used in a substation? When I have sized batteries, the amp-hours calculated assumed the batteries were not usefull after the voltage had dropped down to 70% or whatever. You could get a lot more amp-hours out of the batteries and get by with a lot less if you used something to step up the voltage as the batteries drained.

Also, the expected life of some types of batteries is reduced with deep discharge cycles.

If you discharge the battery way below this pint you'll not be able to charge it to full capacity again.
