Description
This Odyssey Academy training, led by Stacy Delzite from EnerSys, explains how to understand and measure the state of charge (SoC) in Thin Plate Pure Lead (TPPL) batteries, specifically Odyssey and NorthStar brands.
The session covers:
-
What SoC means (available capacity vs. rated capacity)
-
The relationship between voltage and SoC
-
Types of voltage readings: nominal, open circuit, on-charge, and under load
-
How to properly use a voltmeter to measure battery voltage
-
Why SoC is important for troubleshooting, battery performance, and storage maintenance
