6 FAQs about [What is the discharge current of a single lead-acid battery ]

What happens when a lead acid battery is discharged?

At discharge, the lead is converted into lead sulphate (a white powder in the open air) while the sulphuric acid content decreases in the acid solution (i.e., the density drops to 1.0 = only water). How should a lead acid battery be charged? Different recommendations apply to the different types of lead acid batteries.

Does a lead acid battery have a maximum current rating?

Unlike LiPo batteries with have a maximum current rating, the lead acid battery only stated the "initial current", which is used for charging. The label stated not to short the battery. Hence, may I know what/how to find out the safe current to draw? How will the battery fail if I draw too much current (explode/lifespan decreased/?)? Thanks

Can a lead acid battery stall a motor?

The motor can draw quite a lot of current when stalling and I am worried of overdischarging the lead acid battery. Unlike LiPo batteries with have a maximum current rating, the lead acid battery only stated the "initial current", which is used for charging. The label stated not to short the battery.

How does a lead acid battery work?

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.

Can a lead-acid battery be deep discharged?

Lead–acid batteries designed for starting automotive engines are not designed for deep discharge. They have a large number of thin plates designed for maximum surface area, and therefore maximum current output, which can easily be damaged by deep discharge.

What is the difference between a deep cycle battery and a lead acid 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.
