Learn MoreA lack of maintenance or improper maintenance is also one of the biggest causes of damage to lead-acid batteries, generally from the electrolyte solution having too much or too little water. All of the ways lead acid can be damaged are not issues for lithium and why our batteries are far superior for energy storage applications.
But in other cases, it's entirely possible to revive a lead-acid battery. If a battery seems nearly flat, try jump-starting it or connecting it to a trickle charger. These devices slowly provide a small amount of low-voltage power to the battery. This helps balance the charge inside the battery and may partially recover it.
The primary reason for the relatively short cycle life of a lead acid battery is depletion of the active material. According to the 2010 BCI Failure Modes Study, plate/grid-related breakdown has increased from 30 percent 5 years ago to 39 percent today.
Slowing down battery degradation requires a mix of good habits and preventive measures: Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Keep your battery away from heat sources or freezing conditions. Maintain Optimal Charge Levels: Don't let the battery drop below 20% or stay at 100% for too long.
If a battery seems nearly flat, try jump-starting it or connecting it to a trickle charger. These devices slowly provide a small amount of low-voltage power to the battery. This helps balance the charge inside the battery and may partially recover it. Most problems, however, are with sulfation, and there is no good way to dissolve the crystals.
Applications that have these profiles are solar energy storage and energy storage for off-grid power. Two of the most common mistakes that lead to lead-acid battery damage involve charging — or lack thereof. Some owners discharge their batteries too deeply, permanently altering their chemistry and function.
