Proper Charging for Optimal Life of Flooded Lead Acid Batteries

December 29, 2021 Daren Hatfield

Battery owners expect optimal performance from their batteries, but don’t always know the best practices to get long life and reliability from them. With some understanding of cause, effect and prevention of leading causes of premature battery failure, owners can expect more years of safe and reliable operation from their batteries.

Two leading causes of capacity loss, failure, and hazards in flooded lead acid batteries are sulfation and excessive gassing. Both of these can be largely prevented by using advanced charging technology to safely store these types of batteries at full charge.
