Customer ServiceHow to deal with the short circuit of lead-acid battery: The following mainly analyzes the lead-acid battery short circuit caused by excessive charging current, charging voltage of a single battery exceeds 2.4V, internal short-circuit or partial discharge, excessive temperature rise and valve control failure, and summarizes the treatment
Customer ServiceThe main reason is that the batteries are unbalanced. The sufficient voltage of lead-calcium alloy series batteries is relatively high. Generally, the charging voltage of 12V batteries is greater than 16V. When the voltage of the charger is too low, it is easy to cause the battery to become unbalanced. The phenomenon happens like this. When a
Customer ServiceThe common rule of thumb is that a lead acid battery should not be discharged below 50% of capacity, or ideally not beyond 70% of capacity. This is because lead acid batteries age / wear out faster if you deep discharge them. The most important lesson here is this:
Customer Service@Ann Yes, if its a lead acid battery there should be permanent damage if you stored it for two years and never charged it. As you can see, all lead acid battery have a natural discharge rate between 1% to 20% monthly, so at 20% monthly your battery would be 100% discharged in just 5 months and that is using the worst case scenario discharge rate, at the
Customer ServiceTo keep lead acid in good condition, apply a fully saturated charge lasting 14 to 16 hours. If the charge cycle does not allow this, give the battery a fully saturated charge once every few weeks. If at all possible, operate at moderate temperature and avoid deep discharges; charge as often as you can (See BU-403: Charging Lead Acid)

Customer ServiceIf you have a lead-acid battery that is not holding a charge like it used to, reconditioning it might be the solution. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to recondition your lead-acid battery. Inspecting the Battery. The first step in reconditioning your lead-acid battery is to inspect it. Check for any signs of physical damage such as cracks
Customer ServiceThe lead–acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery first invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Plant é. It is the first type of rechargeable battery ever created. Compared to modern rechargeable batteries, lead–acid batteries have relatively low energy density. Despite this, they are able to supply high surge currents. These features, along with their low cost, make them
Customer ServiceTo keep lead acid in good condition, apply a fully saturated charge lasting 14 to 16 hours. If the charge cycle does not allow this, give the battery a fully saturated charge once every few weeks. If at all possible,
Customer ServiceI just started with this project, is there any way of monitoring the battery capacity of a battery with just the use of rtc, voltage sensor and current sensor? I used to design UPSs for a living, and yes: you can estimate the capacity of a battery with just time, current, and voltage. The battery university link posted above is a good one to
Customer ServiceTo ensure that your lead-acid battery lasts as long as possible, it''s important to follow proper maintenance procedures. Regularly check the battery''s electrolyte level and top it off with distilled water as needed. Avoid overcharging or undercharging the battery, as both can lead to reduced capacity and a shorter lifespan.
Customer ServiceThe lead plates can become coated with lead sulfate, which reduces the battery''s capacity and lifespan. Overcharging can also cause the plates to corrode and shorten the battery''s lifespan. Discharge Process. When a lead-acid battery is in use, it undergoes a discharge process. During this process, the lead-acid battery releases electrical energy as its

Customer ServiceMaximizing lead acid battery capacity is essential to ensure prolonged service life, improved performance, and optimal energy storage capabilities. By following proper charging techniques, utilizing equalization charging, controlling temperature, avoiding deep discharges, preventing sulfation, and conducting regular maintenance, users can
Customer ServiceAlthough these losses are very low in Power Sonic lead acid batteries, they must be replaced at the rate the battery self discharges; at the same time the battery must not be given more than these losses or it will be overcharged. To accomplish this, a constant voltage method of charging called standby or float charging is used.
Customer ServiceThis article examines lead-acid battery basics, including equivalent circuits, storage capacity and efficiency, and system sizing. Stand-alone systems that utilize intermittent resources such as wind and solar require a means to store the energy produced so the stored energy can then be delivered when needed and the resources are unavailable.
Customer ServiceTo charge a lead acid battery, start by connecting the battery to a charger that matches its voltage and capacity. Make sure the charger is in a well-ventilated area and follow the manufacturer''s instructions for charging. Monitor the charging process regularly and adjust the charger settings if necessary. Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect it from the charger
Customer ServiceThus, anytime you deal with large loads relative to the battery capacity available, chose a low-exponent battery. This is why many wheel-chairs and other electrically motorized vehicles use AGMs. This is why many wheel-chairs and other electrically motorized vehicles use AGMs.

Customer ServiceOne of the main reasons why lead-acid batteries break down and lose capacity is battery sulfation. Therefore, it is important to prevent sulfation from occurring by using the right tools for battery maintenance and investing some time into the process.
Many of the float charge and discharge voltages of lead-acid batteries in UPS power systems have been adjusted to their rated values at the factory, and the discharge current increases with the increase of the load. The load should be adjusted reasonably during use, such as control of the number of computers and other electronic equipment.
A lead acid battery should never be below 11.80 volt at rest. ↩ 'bad' battery protection solutions will just start to oscillate as the battery voltage recovers (above the cut-off threshold) when the load is removed. I bought a cheap 20 Euro unit and it was effectively useless because of this problem. ↩
Regular maintenance not only extends the life of the battery but also prevents costly replacements. Here are some reasons why regular maintenance is crucial for lead-acid batteries: Sulfation is a common problem that occurs in lead-acid batteries when the lead sulfate crystals form on the battery’s plates.
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.
Personally, I always make sure that anything connected to a lead acid battery is properly fused. The common rule of thumb is that a lead acid battery should not be discharged below 50% of capacity, or ideally not beyond 70% of capacity. This is because lead acid batteries age / wear out faster if you deep discharge them.
