Learn MoreThe legal requirements for lead-acid batteries in relation to “end of useful life” are such that they should be disposed in a manner that is appropriate to the current laws and regulations within the state. The storage of the batteries has to be such that it conforms to the safety rules and regulations.
The ideal SOC for storing lead acid batteries is around 50%. Storing the batteries at full charge or completely discharged can lead to sulfation, a process where lead sulfate crystals form on the plates, gradually reducing the battery's capacity and overall performance.
Temperature: Lead acid batteries prefer cooler temperatures for storage, ideally between 50°F (10°C) and 80°F (27°C). Exposure to extremely high temperatures can accelerate the battery's self-discharge rate and shorten its lifespan. Similarly, exposing the batteries to freezing temperatures can lead to irreversible damage.
The ventilation system must prevent the accumulation of hydrogen pockets greater than 1% concentration. Flooded lead-acid batteries must be provided with a dedicated ventilation system that exhausts outdoors and prevents circulation of air in other parts of the building.
By implementing these cleaning and maintenance tips, you can prolong the lifespan of your lead acid batteries and ensure that they continue to deliver reliable performance over time. When storing lead acid batteries, make sure to keep them in a cool, dry place and avoid extreme temperatures.
Sealed lead acid batteries need to be kept above 70% State of Charge (SoC). If you are storing your batteries at the ideal temperature and humidity levels then a general rule of thumb would be to recharge the batteries every six months. However if you are not sure then you can check the voltage as follows:
