Heat dissipation of Batteries:

[NickParker]

HOPPECKE - Battery vendor has provided the heat dissipation sheet of vented lead acid batteries (125V DC, 62Cells, Vented lead acied)

During Float Charging,
New Battery Heat loss - 26.21W
Old Battery Heat loss - 49.69W

Is this for each battery cell ? or for the complete battery bank?

I have asked this to the manufacturer, due to COVID-19, the response is very late. Hoping for some quick inputs.

20mA x 2.23V/cell x 62cells = 2.76W

but that's for a 100Ah battery and you have a 505Ah battery so;
5.05 x 2.7W = 14W

then they add secret sauce for ripple loss from a crummy charger essentially doubling the loss to:

26W

so I say it's for the whole thing.

Don't forget the charger losses.

Definitely, and I'm not sure why you care when you have to also handle an equalization charge.
