It is the most common method of charging the lead acid battery. It reduces the charging time and increases the capacity up to 20%. But this method reduces the efficiency by approximately 10%.

If you use a smart lead acid battery charger, however, the charging process is quite simple, as the smart charger uses a microprocessor that automates the entire process.
Under the right temperature and with sufficient charge current, lead acid provides high charge efficiently. The exception is charging at 40°C (104°F) and low current, as Figure 4 demonstrates. In respect of high efficiency, lead acid shares this fine attribute with Li-ion that is closer to 99%.
The ventilation in most enclosures should be sufficient to minimize this risk. The ventilation in a small, enclosed shed, crawlspace, or other small room, however, may not be enough. Take proper precautions whenever handling a lead acid battery. Wear protective eye glasses and gloves to protect yourself from any acid that may leak from the battery.
Chemical energy is converted into electrical energy which is delivered to load. The lead-acid battery can be recharged when it is fully discharged. For recharging, positive terminal of DC source is connected to positive terminal of the battery (anode) and negative terminal of DC source is connected to the negative terminal (cathode) of the battery.
This mode works well for installations that do not draw a load when on standby. Lead acid batteries must always be stored in a charged state. A topping charge should be applied every 6 months to prevent the voltage from dropping below 2.05V/cell and causing the battery to sulfate. With AGM, these requirements can be relaxed.
