Uneven Aging in Series and Parallel Lead-Acid Battery Banks – Causes and Solutions

Introduction

Uneven aging is a serious problem in large battery banks. One weak battery can reduce the performance and lifespan of the entire system.

Keywords: lead-acid battery imbalance, battery bank uneven aging, series parallel battery problems.


Why Uneven Aging Occurs

  • Voltage imbalance in series strings
  • Unequal current sharing in parallel groups
  • Differences in internal resistance
  • Localized temperature differences

Common Warning Signs

  • Abnormal voltage deviation
  • One battery overheating
  • Frequent inverter alarms
  • Reduced system backup time

Engineering Solutions

  • Use identical batteries (same brand, model, batch)
  • Maintain equal cable lengths
  • Use copper busbars
  • Install battery balancers
  • Replace batteries as complete sets

Conclusion

Proper system design and monitoring are key to preventing uneven battery aging.
