How long does a deep-cycle lead acid battery last?
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.
How does a lead acid battery work?
A typical lead–acid battery contains a mixture with varying concentrations of water and acid. Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
Is the capacity of a lead-acid battery a fixed quantity?
The capacity of a lead–acid battery is not a fixed quantity but varies according to how quickly it is discharged. The empirical relationship between discharge rate and capacity is known as Peukert's law.
What is a good coloumbic efficiency for a lead acid battery?
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.
Do lead acid batteries lose water?
The production and escape of hydrogen and oxygen gas from a battery cause water loss and water must be regularly replaced in lead acid batteries. Other components of a battery system do not require maintenance as regularly, so water loss can be a significant problem. If the system is in a remote location, checking water loss can add to costs.
How do you prevent sulfation in a lead acid battery?
Sulfation prevention remains the best course of action, by periodically fully charging the lead–acid batteries. A typical lead–acid battery contains a mixture with varying concentrations of water and acid.
