This paper is the conclusion to the series of the articles devoted to the problem of accelerated charging of a lead-acid battery. In this paper we investigated the possibility of increasing the charge efficiency by applying the asymmetric current at the second stage. In addition, the effect of using admissible charging rates on the resource, the admissible number of consecutive cycles, and gas release were studied.

The comparative results of nickel cadmium storage batteries capacity regeneration with asymmetrical and direct currents after their exploitation on the electric locomotives in the conditions of constant floating with current impulses are represented. The capacity regeneration with asymmetrical current was carried out rapidly, the battery was restored with charging capacity numerically equal to 1.2C_nom. The capacity regeneration with direct current was carried out in accordance with sendee schedule of electric locomotives' batteries when restoring them with charging capacity 3Cnom. The regeneration with asymmetrical current was carried out on the automated charging station CA3P-4,5-380/100- УХЛ-202. Usage of asymmetrical current for the battery capacity regeneration allowed to half the time of charge-discharge cycle in comparison with standard mode of the capacity regeneration, to reduce number of technological training cycles from 3-4 to 1-2, to reduce general time of battery rebuilding for exploitation to 1.5 times, to lower ecological load and power inputs at charging.

Comparative results of the tests of the sealed nickel-cadmium batteries for capacity safety during long-term storage after charging with direct and asymmetric currents are represented. Charging with asymmetric current was carried out in an accelerated manner at average value of the charging current equal to 0.8Crated. Charging with direct current was carried out at average value of the charging current equal to 0. lCrated in accordance with Technical Conditions. Tests prove that batteries acceleratedly charged with asymmetric current are compliant with technical conditions concerning capacity safety during long-time storage. Tests also prove discharge capacity advantage of batteries charged with asymmetric current after long storage, in comparison with batteries charged with direct current.

The research results of the sealed nickel-cadmium storage batteries reliability at the rapid charge with asymmetric current are represented. In accordance with the reliability theory postulates, the experimental data of the resource test in the mode of the storage batteries 10NKGZ-1,8-1, 10NKGZ-3,5-l, 10NKGZ-4 cycling. The predicted resource gain in comparison with the direct current charge, while using the device of automated storage batteries charge with asymmetric current is confirmed, as well as decrease in the mode of the heating-up charge, and the fall-off in gas emission intensity.
