and declines until the battery reaches its end of life. A reduction to 80% of the rated capacity is usually defined as the end of life for a lead-acid battery. Below 80%, the rate of battery deterioration accelerates, and it is more prone to sudden failure resulting from a mechanical shock (such as a seismic event) or a high dischargerate.

How long does a lead acid battery last?
The lifespan of a lead-acid battery typically ranges from 3-8 years: Flooded Lead-Acid Batteries: Usually last around 4 to 6 years. Sealed Lead-Acid Batteries (AGM, Gel): Generally last about 3 to 5 years. Factors Affecting Lifespan Usage Conditions: Frequent deep discharges and high discharge rates can shorten the lifespan.
What factors affect the lifespan of a lead-acid battery?
Several factors can affect the lifespan of a lead-acid battery, including temperature, depth of discharge, charging and discharging rates, and maintenance. Extreme temperatures, frequent deep discharges, and high charging rates can reduce the battery’s lifespan.
How to maintain a lead acid battery?
Temperature plays a vital role in battery performance. Extreme heat can shorten lifespan, while extreme cold can affect capacity. Storing batteries in a moderated environment ensures better longevity. By adopting these maintenance tips, users can maximize their lead acid battery lifespan.
Can a lead acid battery be left uncharged?
Higher temperatures significantly prolong battery life. You can leave a lead acid battery uncharged indefinitely. Double the charging voltage will double the battery lifespan. Using a battery regularly is more harmful than letting it sit unused. Lead acid batteries should be fully discharged before recharging is a common myth.
Do lead acid batteries sulfate?
In reality, lead acid batteries benefit from partial discharges. Allowing them to discharge completely can lead to sulfation, reducing their capacity over time. According to a study by the Battery University, maintaining a charge between 40% and 80% enhances lifespan. Higher temperatures significantly prolong battery life is another misconception.
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.
