IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and
The purpose of this recommended practice is to provide the user with information and recommendations concerning the maintenance, testing, and replacement of vented lead-acid
By following these maintenance practices, you can significantly extend the life of your lead-acid batteries and ensure optimal performance in all your applications. Store batteries in a cool, dry place. The ideal temperature for storage is between 10°C and 25°C.
Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries are widely used in solar and backup power systems due to their maintenance-free design, safety, and reliability. This article explores SLA battery technologies—AGM and Gel—highlighting their structural advantages, performance in demanding environments, and suitability for solar energy integration.
Lead-acid batteries discharge over time even when not in use, and prolonged discharge can permanently damage them. By following these maintenance practices, you can significantly extend the life of your lead-acid batteries and ensure optimal performance in all your applications.
Lead-acid batteries can lose their charge over time, even when not in use. Check the charge at least once every three months and recharge if the voltage drops below 70% of its full capacity. Keep track of charging status during storage. Use a maintenance or float charger to keep the battery charged at an optimal level without risk of overcharging.
