Hello,
I have 2 24V lead acid batteries in parallel to make a power supply for my circuit. I want to do some drain tests, and plot a curve for % energy remaining vs. time. The load on the battery isn't that large, and I don't want to have to supervise my experiment for 12 hours solid.
Im presuming the curve will be the same if I take one of the batteries out (to shorten the drain time)? If I multiply my values by a factor of 2, will that be a fair representation of the system with both batteries.
I will be working out the energy remaining using V=E/Q and Q=It, the Wh/kg value I have for my batteries, and the conversion rate of 1Wh = 3.6kJ
I hope this makes sense, thanks in advance
