What is the design life of a lead acid battery?

Europe took a different tack. The Eurobat Guide for the Specification of Valve Regulated Lead-Acid Stationary Cells and Batteries defines design life as follows: “The design life is the estimated life determined under laboratory conditions, and is quoted at 20°C using the manufacturer’s recommended float voltage conditions.” 6

What is a sealed lead acid battery?

Sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries are the most commonly used type of storage battery and are well-known for their various applications including UPS, automotive, medical devices and telecommunications. The battery is made up of cells - each cell consists of plates immersed in an electrolyte of dilute sulfuric acid. SLA Batteries

Is a lead-acid battery a good battery?

It is accepted industry practice that a battery is considered “good” or reliable as long as it can deliver ≥80% of its rated capacity 1. IEEE 450 and 1188 prescribe best industry practices for maintaining a lead-acid stationary battery to optimize life to 80% of rated capacity.

How reliable is a stationary lead-acid battery?

IEEE 450 and 1188 prescribe best industry practices for maintaining a lead-acid stationary battery to optimize life to 80% of rated capacity. Thus it is fair to state that the definition for reliability of a stationary lead-acid battery is that it is able to deliver at least 80% of its rated capacity.

What is a car battery guarantee?

Lifetime guarantee refers to the lifetime of your vehicle (unfortunately not the customer!) Your car battery guarantee isn't transferable between vehicles.

Which batteries should be labelled?

Rechargeable portable batteries, LMT batteries, and SLI batteries should be labelled with the battery’s capacity. b. Non-rechargeable portable batteries should be labelled with the phrase “non-rechargeable. c. Batteries containing over 0.004% lead and 0.002% cadmium should be labelled with their respective chemical symbols (e.g., “Pb”, “Cd”).
