Sulfation
Sulfation is the generation or conversion of the discharged lead sulfate in the plates to a state that resists
normal recharge. Sulfation develops when a battery is stored or cycled in a partial state of charge (PSOC),
particularly at warm temperatures.
Terminal
Every Trojan lead acid battery has two terminal - a positive terminal and a negative terminal. Battery
terminals come in different shapes and sizes depending on the intended application. The terminals are
connected to the plates inside the battery, allowing the terminals to carry current from the battery to the
cables. Battery cables are connected to the lead terminals of the battery, allowing multiple batteries to
be connected together, to an energy source, and to a load.
Tracking
Tracking is dust or mist that accumulates on the battery, which connect it to the ground creating an
unintentionally grounded battery. Tracking should be avoided as it presents a potential safety hazard.
Volt (V)
A unit of measurement of electrical potential or “pressure.” Lead acid batteries come in 2V to 12V types
and are made up of individual 2V cells. Most renewable energy battery bank designs are 12V, 24V or 48V.
The Industrial batteries configured as individual 2V cells that are assembled in series in 6V, 4V models
housed in dual-container configurations, or, as a single 2V cell housed in dual-containers for the 2V larger
capacity batteries.
Voltmeter
A voltmeter is an instrument used for measuring a potential electrical difference (voltage) between two
points in an electric circuit.
Watt (W)
A watt is a unit of measurement of energy. Wattage is determined by multiplying amperage by voltage.
