Cycle life of lead acid battery
The standard cycle life of lead acid battery is about 350 times. Plus, the smaller the discharge current is, the depth is lower, so that the cycle life will be longer up to over 600 times. You should reduce the load, avoid water loss, and not overcharge and pay attention to the discharge depth so as to prolong the life of lead acid battery. There are many chargers available in the market but if the charger’s specification meets the demand of this lead acid battery, it is ok. Don’t believe the charger’s reconditioning function if you are not the professional. The charger can be used for over two years if you take care of your batteries. In fact, we can know how is going with the batteries by monitoring the voltage. It’s good to develop a good usage habit.
The normal voltage of 12V lead acid battery is general 10.5V – 14.8V, while it will be lower when a cell has short circuit. If the batteries lose much water, the voltage easily exceeds 15V, even 16V. At this moment, you should use the professional maintenance charger with 16.8V voltage to charge it. This all depends on which brand it is. According to different brand and temperature, it is also different. If the discharge voltage is lower than 10.5V, this is called over discharge, which causes irreversible damage to the lead acid battery. We should charge it in time and reduce or close the load. As for starting batteries, we focus on checking whether the circuit between generator and batteries is normal. If the voltage is too high, we also need to check that. Don’t forget check the water. We should add distilled water timely to avoid the lead acid battery overcharge even broken when it is lack of water.
Anyway, knowing some general knowledge of lead acid battery is not bad for us. Maintain those batteries just as you take care of yourself. Did you get it? Ok, I know you will understand it.
