PV stand alone or hybrid power generation systems has to store the electrical energy in batteries during sunshine hours for providing continuous power to the load under varying environmental conditions. This article deals with the requirements, functions, types, aging factors and protection methods of battery. The PV system performance depends on the battery design and operating conditions and maintenance of the battery. This paper will help to have an idea about the selection of batteries, ratings and maintenance of batteries for PV applications.
