6 FAQs about [Lead-acid battery safe storage requirements and specifications]

What temperature should lead acid batteries be stored?

All lead acid batteries discharge when in storage – a process known as ‘calendar fade’ – so the right environment and active maintenance are essential to ensure the batteries maintain their ability to achieve fill capacity. This is true of both flooded lead acid and sealed lead acid batteries. The ideal storage temperature is 50°F (10°C).

Do you need a safety data sheet for lead-acid batteries?

The REACH-regulation (1907 /2006/EC) describes the setting up and updating of safety data sheets for substances and mixtures. For articles – like lead-acid batteries – safety data sheets are not required. The transfer of a leaflet with “instructions for the safe handling of batteries“ has to be interpreted simply as a product information.

How often should a lead acid battery be recharged?

Sealed lead acid batteries need to be kept above 70% State of Charge (SoC). If you are storing your batteries at the ideal temperature and humidity levels then a general rule of thumb would be to recharge the batteries every six months. However if you are not sure then you can check the voltage as follows:

What are the characteristics of lead acid batteries?

LEAD ACID BATTERIES : 5.1 The batteries shall be made of closed type lead acid cells of very low internal resistance having high cycling capability ,moderate size, high service life minimum 20 years, excellent performance for both low & high rates of discharge, rigid cell plates design type manufactured to conform to

Are lead acid batteries dangerous?

No hazards occur during the normal operation of a lead acid battery as it is described in the instructions for use that are provided with the battery. Lead-acid batteries have three significant characteristics: They contain an electrolyte which contains dilute sulphuric acid. Sulphuric acid may cause severe chemical burns.

How long can a sealed lead-acid battery be stored?

A sealed lead-acid battery can be stored for up to 2 years. During that period, it is vital to check the voltage and charge it when the battery drops to 70%. Low charge increases the possibility of sulfation. Storage temperature greatly affects SLA batteries. The best temperature for battery storage is 15°C (59°F).
