Customer ServiceTemperature fluctuations significantly affect the life of a battery. Sealed lead acid batteries should ideally be stored at temperatures between 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). For every ten °C (18°F) over this range, the battery''s
Customer ServiceIn summary, understanding lead acid battery cycles, implementing maintenance tips, and adopting smart charging practices can significantly extend battery life.
Customer ServiceFor flooded lead–acid batteries and for most deep-cycle batteries, every 8 °C (about 15 °F) rise in temperature reduces battery life in half. For example, a battery that would last for 10 years at 25 °C (77 °F) will only be good for 5 years at 33 °C (91 °F). Theoretically, the same battery would last a little more than 1 year at a desert temperature of 42 °C.

Customer ServiceThe primary reason for the relatively short cycle life of a lead acid battery is depletion of the active material. According to the 2010 BCI Failure Modes Study, plate/grid-related breakdown has increased from 30 percent 5 years ago to 39 percent today.
If at all possible, operate at moderate temperature and avoid deep discharges; charge as often as you can (See BU-403: Charging Lead Acid) The primary reason for the relatively short cycle life of a lead acid battery is depletion of the active material.
As we exercise the plates by charging and discharging the battery, they absorb and release the electrolyte, becoming firmer in the process. This phase of lead-acid battery life may take twenty-to-fifty cycles to complete, before the battery reaches peak capacity (or room to store energy).
However, you can continue using the battery until capacity drops to 70%. Depending on your application, you may then decide it is time to replace the battery. As we mentioned earlier is always a good idea not to over-strain a lead battery.
Redway emphasizes the impact of temperature, capacity, and age on the shelf life of sealed lead acid batteries. Recommending an ideal storage temperature and periodic recharging, Redway provides actionable tips to enhance battery shelf life and prevent sulfation – a critical concern for sealed lead acid batteries.
We hope you find the information useful, and that we’ll welcome you back again. When a lead-acid battery is new, the plates are somewhat like sponges surrounded by liquid electrolyte. As we exercise the plates by charging and discharging the battery, they absorb and release the electrolyte, becoming firmer in the process.
