Lead-Acid Battery How Does the Lead-Acid Battery Work? To put it simply, the battery''s electrical charge is generated when the sulphate in the sulphuric acid becomes bonded to the lead. The electrical charge is replenished by reversing this reaction. That is, the sulphate goes back into the sulphuric acid and, thus, the battery is recharged.

Learn MoreYou may notice that batteries are often rated for much higher CCA or 'Cold Cranking Amps' values, but since they deteriorate over time, that extra margin will come in handy. Especially in colder weather. Lead acid batteries as used in cars can last many years because they are used under near ideal conditions.
Personally, I always make sure that anything connected to a lead acid battery is properly fused. The common rule of thumb is that a lead acid battery should not be discharged below 50% of capacity, or ideally not beyond 70% of capacity. This is because lead acid batteries age / wear out faster if you deep discharge them.
It's best to immediately charge a lead acid battery after a (partial) discharge to keep them from quickly deteriorating. A battery that is in a discharged state for a long time (many months) will probably never recover or ever be usable again even if it was new and/or hasn't been used much.
So many lead acid batteries are 'murdered' because they are left connected (accidentally) to a power 'drain'. No matter the size, lead acid batteries are relatively slow to charge. It may take around 8 - 12 hours to fully charge a battery from fully depleted. It's not possible to just dump a lot of current into them and charge them quickly.
This means that if you (accidentally) short-circuit a lead acid battery, the battery can explode or it can cause a fire. Whatever object caused the short-circuit, will probably be destroyed. Because lead acid batteries can supply such high currents, it's important to assure that you use the right wire thickness / diameter.
So the first issue with lead acid batteries is that they don't take well being in a discharged state for more than a day or so. It will make them deteriorate faster. I think the second issue with lead acid batteries as a solar power bank is their slow charging speed.
