Get a quoteThe end of life is usually considered when the battery capacity drops to 80% of the initial value. For most lead–acid batteries, the capacity drops to 80% between 300 and 500 cycles. Lead–acid battery cycle life is a complex function of battery depth of discharge, temperature, average state of charge, cycle frequency, charging methods, and time.
If at all possible, operate at moderate temperature and avoid deep discharges; charge as often as you can (See BU-403: Charging Lead Acid) The primary reason for the relatively short cycle life of a lead acid battery is depletion of the active material.
A typical lead–acid battery contains a mixture with varying concentrations of water and acid. Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
Wide differences in cycle performance may be experienced with two types of deep cycle batteries and therefore the cycle life and DOD of various deep-cycle batteries should be compared. A lead acid battery consists of electrodes of lead oxide and lead are immersed in a solution of weak sulfuric acid.
In between the fully discharged and charged states, a lead acid battery will experience a gradual reduction in the voltage. Voltage level is commonly used to indicate a battery's state of charge. The dependence of the battery on the battery state of charge is shown in the figure below.
The service life of a lead–acid battery can in part be measured by the thickness of its positive plates. During charging and discharging, the lead on the plates gets gradually consumed and the sediment falls to the bottom. As a result, the measurement of the plate thickness can be an indication of how much battery life is left.
