Charge Characteristics
Discharge Characteristics
- Due to self-discharge characteristics of lead acid battery technologies, batteries should be charged within 6 months of storage to ensure optimum performance, prevent sulphation and permanent capacity loss.
- Charge profile recommendations correspond to battery voltages at 25°C (77°F). For temperatures below, adjust +5mVPC/°C (+3mVPC/°F). Temperatures above, adjust -5mVPC/°C (-3mVPC/°F). Temperature compensated charging helps ensure optimum battery runtime and life performance.
- Charge until battery voltage reaches 2.45VPC and hold until current tapers down to 0.01C20 amps. Battery is fully charged under these conditions and charger should be disconnected or switched to “float” voltage. For standby / float use, a constant charge voltage of 2.25-2.30VPC is also acceptable. Hold until the battery seeks its own current level and maintain itself in a fully charged condition.
