“…In an open-circuit condition, with no current passing through the battery, the battery experiences only chemical modes of degradation and can exhibit a comparatively longer service life. The literature [6][7][8][9][10] has generally coined the term "intermittent charging" to refer to methods of charging the battery, whereby the battery does not receive a continuous charging current, and operates for a substantial period of time in an open circuit condition. Three references [6][7][8] show that batteries operated under open-circuit conditions, compared to batteries operated under float conditions, can exhibit up to a 100-200% improvement in service life.…”

This paper discusses a new control concept that uses the information contained in monitored data to modify telecommunications DC power system operation in a beneficial manner. The application of this concept to common functions of low-voltage battery disconnection, battery condition testing, and recharge current limiting is presented. The control concept can also be applied to the less commonly used intermittent charging technique.
