Lead-acid batteries have a capacity that varies depending on discharge rate as well as temperature. Their capacity generally decreases with slow discharges while increasing with high rates. Moreover, lead-acid batteries suffer reduced capacity at extreme temperatures, especially during cold conditions.

Constant current discharge curves for a 550 Ah lead acid battery at different discharge rates, with a limiting voltage of 1.85V per cell (Mack, 1979). Longer discharge times give higher battery capacities. Maintenance Requirements. The production
Customer ServiceThe capacity of the battery for each of these various discharge rates can be calculated as discussed above. The rated capacity for lead-acid batteries is usually specified at the 8-, 10-, or 20-hour rates (C/8, C/10, C/20). UPS batteries are rated at 8-hour capacities and telecommunications batteries are rated at 10-hour capacities.
Customer ServiceD oes it mean that I 0.25 (current of 1/4 hour discharge) equils C 20 x 4 ? No, it is not correct. Lead-acid battery capacity for 15-minute (1/4 hour) discharge usually is slightly less then half of C 20.That is why I 0.25 is not more then C 20 x2. As we see discharge current and discharge time ore not directly proportional.

Customer ServiceThe sealed lead-acid battery consists of six cells mounted side by side in a single case. The cells are coupled together, and each 2.0V cell adds up to the overall 12.0V capacity of the battery.
Customer ServiceLead acid batteries are the most commonly used type of battery in photovoltaic systems. Although lead acid batteries have a low energy density, only moderate efficiency and high maintenance requirements, they also have a long lifetime and low costs compared to other battery types.
Customer ServiceThe path taken when current passes through the lead-acid cell will have resistance . This internal resistance depends on the cell''s design, construction, age and condition. On discharge this internal resistance (RC) causes the voltage measured across the cell''s terminals to be less than the EMF (E) of the cell (the voltage drop = I x RC, figure 3a). Thus when a current (I) flows the

Customer ServiceThe capacities of lead-acid batteries are very dependent on the temperature at which the battery is operating. The Capacity is normally quoted for a temperature of 25°C however, the capacity will reduce by about 50% at -25°C and will increase to about 10% at 45°C (figure 5).
A lead acid battery consists of electrodes of lead oxide and lead are immersed in a solution of weak sulfuric acid. Potential problems encountered in lead acid batteries include: Gassing: Evolution of hydrogen and oxygen gas. Gassing of the battery leads to safety problems and to water loss from the electrolyte.
The voltage of a typical single lead-acid cell is ∼ 2 V. As the battery discharges, lead sulfate (PbSO 4) is deposited on each electrode, reducing the area available for the reactions. Near the fully discharged state (see Figure 3), cell voltage drops, and internal resistance increases.
A lead-acid battery cell consists of a positive electrode made of lead dioxide (PbO 2) and a negative electrode made of porous metallic lead (Pb), both of which are immersed in a sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4) water solution. This solution forms an electrolyte with free (H+ and SO42-) ions. Chemical reactions take place at the electrodes:
One of the singular advantages of lead acid batteries is that they are the most commonly used form of battery for most rechargeable battery applications (for example, in starting car engines), and therefore have a well-established established, mature technology base.
Lead acid batteries typically have coloumbic efficiencies of 85% and energy efficiencies in the order of 70%. Depending on which one of the above problems is of most concern for a particular application, appropriate modifications to the basic battery configuration improve battery performance.
