Battery Charging On Board Ship.

Batteries are one of the energy sources available onboard vessels which are used in case of
blackout and emergency situations on board a ship. These batteries are used for low voltage dc
system like bridge navigational instruments and thus need to be kept charged to be used in case
of any need of temporary power.

Also, arrangement should be available on board to charge the batteries again after the use.
Moreover, the arrangement should be such that the batteries are able to be fully charged as they
gradually lose charge over the time.

The batteries can be charged with the help of dc power supply; however presently there are no
ships working on dc supply system and thus it is required to change the ac power into dc to
charge the batteries.

A simple circuit used for battery charging is shown below:-

For converting ac into dc several components are required as shown in the circuit diagram
above. First of all the ac is stepped down to the required voltage and then the AC is converted to
DC with the help of rectier system which changes sinusoidal wave of ac to dc system.

The only problem in the above circuit is that there is no arrangement provided for maintaining
the charge, and the usage of same circuit will lead to overcharging and reduction of the battery
life. In order to avoid this, a slight modication is done in the same circuit and an arrangement is
provided to maintain the charges at the terminals. Also an arrangement to connect automatically
to low voltage dc system is provided in case of a power failure.

In normal circumstances the battery is charged using the full charge circuit and once the battery
is fully charged, the charges on the battery are maintained by the trickle charge circuit.

As it can be seen in the diagram, the batteries are in standby mode with the charging switches C
closed and the load switches L open. The positions of these switches are held with the help of an
electromagnetic coil against the spring tension. The electromagnetic coil gets its supply from

electromagnetic coil loses its power and the batteries are connected to load switch L which gets
disconnected from the charging switch C.

Once the power is available from the main system, the batteries are connected back to the
charging circuit again manually. Also there is a test switch provided to test the system as a part
of the routine checks.
