BatteryStuff Articles | The Lead Acid Battery Explained
One not-so-nice feature of lead acid batteries is that they discharge all by themselves even if not used. A general rule of thumb is a one percent per day rate of self …
A practical understanding of lead acid batteries
The common rule of thumb is that a lead acid battery should not be discharged below 50% of capacity, or ideally not beyond 70% of capacity. This is because lead acid batteries age / wear out faster if you deep discharge them.
What to Know About 12V Lead Acid Battery Capacity
Lead acid batteries are a popular source of energy, but they come with the risk of pollution due to their high maintenance requirements. 12V lead acid battery capacity differs …
8 Myths and Facts about Lead Acid Batteries
The project was successful in demonstrating that a large lead-acid battery could perform a wide range of duty cycles reliably over an extended period of time.

OverviewCyclesHistoryElectrochemistryMeasuring the charge levelVoltages for common usageConstructionApplications
Lead–acid batteries designed for starting automotive engines are not designed for deep discharge. They have a large number of thin plates designed for maximum surface area, and therefore maximum current output, which can easily be damaged by deep discharge. Repeated deep discharges will result in capacity loss and ultimately in premature failure, as the electrodes disintegrate …
