BU-403: Charging Lead Acid

The lead acid battery uses the constant current constant voltage (CCCV) charge method. A regulated current raises the terminal voltage until the upper charge voltage limit is reached, at which point the current drops due to saturation. The charge time is 12–16 hours and up to 36–48 hours for large stationary batteries. With higher charge currents and multi-stage

Tech Note | Battery Room Ventilation Requirements

Lead-Acid (LA) and Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries vent hydrogen and oxygen when they are being charged. In the case of Valve-Regulated designs, the hydrogen is recombined with the oxygen within the battery back into water unless the gassing volume/pressure exceeds the opening setting of the pressure relief valve. Hence the name Valve-Regulated.

What are the minimum recycled content requirements for industrial batteries?

The Regulation mandates minimum recycled content requirements for industrial batteries with a capacity greater than 2 kWh, excluding those with exclusively external storage, EV batteries, and SLI batteries. The minimum percentage shares of the recycled content are as follows:

What is the hazardous waste number for used lead acid batteries?

The applicable Hazardous Waste Number for spent lead acid batteries is D002. * There appears to be a contradiction here, as Generators of Used Lead Acid Batteries are suppose to be exempt from Parts 262, except for the requirements of §262.11, which then makes reference to §262.32. CFR 40, PART 268, Subpart C

What are the new labelling requirements for batteries?

Labelling requirements will apply from 2026 and the QR code from 2027. The regulation amends Directive 2008/98/EC on waste management (see summary) and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 on market surveillance and compliance of products (see summary).
