At the power facility I work at,we have emergency DC equipment that in the event of a power failure,would run off of batteries.Heres the scenario.
3 motors
143 amps
169 amps
22.1 amps
The battery room has 60 cells which are rated from 2.17 to 2.22 volts per cell.How long would these motors be able to run before they would start losing capacity or running down per say?
I found a sticker in the battery room which states 1600 amphr @ 8 hrs or 1400 amphr @ 5 hrs?Could someone try and explain this one to me?It seems that less amps would buy you more time.I am sort of new to this so bear with me.Thanks in advance.
