![]() ![]() ![]() Recommended charging parameters for lead acid battery types: If you discharge the battery to 50% of its capacity instead of 100%, the battery will produce an extra 40% more amperes over the life of the battery.īATTERY TIP 5 - Always ensure the charging settings match the battery! ![]() We recommend discharging a battery to no lower than 50% DOD, with a maximum of 80%. The deeper you discharge the battery the more it will reduce the battery’s total cycle life. When the battery is fully charged, fill to the bottom of the spout extensions.īATTERY TIP 4 - Never fully discharge a deep cycle lead acid battery! Top up using distilled or demineralised water and never fill with sulphuric acid. If topping up is required, do not over fill when the battery is discharged as the fluid levels will rise when the battery is charged and may overflow. If you have a maintainable battery, it’s important to check if the battery has sufficient electrolyte covering the battery plates. Deep cycle batteries are not designed to be kept in a low state of charge and will build up sulphation on the battery plates that will reduce the performance and cycle life of the battery.īATTERY TIP 3 - Do not overfill maintainable deep cycle batteries! When the battery is not in use, recharge it if the open circuit voltage (OCV) drops below 12.5 volts.
