The optimal voltage of lead-acid batteries is 2.1 V, but because the lead ions are smaller than the sodium ions, they are more likely to diffuse through the electrolyte and form dendrites. And of course, the process of
Customer ServiceBut some batteries are designed to deeply discharge regularly and these batteries are known as deep cycle batteries. These batteries regularly deep discharge using most of their capacity. For a deep cycle lead-acid battery, the depth of discharge is 50%. These types of batteries are used in UPS, traffic signals, remote applications, and off-grid power storage
Customer ServiceIn addition to the depth of discharge and rated battery capacity, the instantaneous or available battery capacity is strongly affected by the discharge rate of the battery and the operating temperature of the battery. Battery capacity falls by about 1% per degree below about 20°C.
Customer ServiceTwo of the most common mistakes that lead to lead-acid battery damage involve charging — or lack thereof. Some owners discharge their batteries too deeply, permanently altering their chemistry and function. Others overcharge their batteries or charge them too quickly, which can do equal amounts of damage.
Customer ServiceDeep discharge refers to discharging a lithium-ion battery, such as an 18650 or 21700 battery pack, to a very low state of charge, typically below 20%. This practice can significantly shorten the lifespan of the battery and lead to performance issues. Avoiding deep discharge is essential for maintaining battery health and ensuring optimal performance in devices like flashlights, vape
Customer ServiceNever fully discharge a lead-acid deep cycle battery! As we''ve said, the deeper you discharge the battery, the more its total cycle life reduces. Most deep cycle batteries can handle only up to 50% depth of discharge, although some are built to handle up to 80% discharge. Never fully discharge a lead-acid deep cycle battery! If you frequently recharge
Customer ServiceSimilarly, lead-acid batteries also suffer from deep discharge damage. If a lead-acid battery is discharged below 50%, sulfation can occur. Sulfation is the formation of
Customer ServiceIncreased Internal Resistance: Deep discharging can increase the battery''s internal resistance. This makes it more challenging to recharge effectively and can lead to overheating during charging. Potential Damage: If discharged too profoundly, particularly in non-deep-cycle batteries, irreversible damage can occur.
Customer ServiceDischarging a lead acid battery too deeply can reduce its lifespan. For best results, do not go below 50% depth of discharge (DOD). Aim to limit discharges to a maximum of 80% DOD. This approach helps maintain battery safety, cycle life, and overall efficiency. Maintenance tips are essential for maximizing a lead acid battery''s lifespan.

Customer ServiceSimilarly, lead-acid batteries also suffer from deep discharge damage. If a lead-acid battery is discharged below 50%, sulfation can occur. Sulfation is the formation of lead sulfate crystals, which can hinder the battery''s ability to hold a charge. In both cases, the risks associated with deep discharging can lead to costly replacements or

Customer ServiceDischarging a lead-acid battery too deeply or too frequently can lead to increased sulfation, which is the formation of lead sulfate crystals on the electrode plates. These crystals reduce the battery''s capacity and can eventually lead to irreversible damage.
Customer ServiceConversely, frequent deep discharge cycles can lead to premature aging and reduce the battery''s usable capacity over time. Best Practices for Managing Depth of Discharge: Avoid Deep Discharges: Minimize the depth of discharge whenever possible by avoiding deep discharge cycles. Aim to keep the depth of discharge below 50% to prolong the
Customer ServiceWhat Happens to Lead Acid Batteries During Deep Discharge? Deep discharge of lead acid batteries can significantly harm their lifespan and performance. Prolonged deep discharge can lead to sulfation, capacity loss, and potential battery failure.

Customer ServiceIn cases of deep discharge, the battery may no longer hold a charge effectively. Reduced Lifespan: Reduced lifespan in batteries results primarily from the chemical changes that occur during deep discharges. Lead-acid batteries typically have a specified number of cycles they can endure. According to a study by the Battery University, frequent deep

A lack of maintenance or improper maintenance is also one of the biggest causes of damage to lead-acid batteries, generally from the electrolyte solution having too much or too little water. All of the ways lead acid can be damaged are not issues for lithium and why our batteries are far superior for energy storage applications.
Deep discharge of batteries often leads to mechanical stresses in the plates, which leads to shedding, poor conductivity, and a diminished lifetime of the system. The active material utilization of a battery is therefore a trade-off against lifetime.
Applications that have these profiles are solar energy storage and energy storage for off-grid power. Two of the most common mistakes that lead to lead-acid battery damage involve charging — or lack thereof. Some owners discharge their batteries too deeply, permanently altering their chemistry and function.
A deep-cycle lead acid battery should be able to maintain a cycle life of more than 1,000 even at DOD over 50%. Figure: Relationship between battery capacity, depth of discharge and cycle life for a shallow-cycle battery. In addition to the DOD, the charging regime also plays an important part in determining battery lifetime.
The knee of the discharge characteristic is sharper than that of the individual cells and once the lowest cell is totally expended, the battery voltage drops rapidly. Leaving the battery connected to a load after discharge should be avoided to enable the battery to provide its full cycle life and charge capabilities.
