AI Customer ServiceUnlike 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
Lead acid batteries are fantastic at providing a lot of power for a short period of time. In the automotive world, this is referred to as Cold Cranking Amps. From GNB Systems FAQ page (found via a Google search):
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.
Ideally you can configure the cut-off coltage, such as with the depicted unit. 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 turns out that the usable capacity of a lead acid battery depends on the applied load. Therefore, the stated capacity is actually the capacity at a certain load that would deplete the battery in 20 hours. This is concept of the C-rate. 1C is the theoretical one hour discharge rate based on the capacity.
Be sure you look at a table that correlates resting voltage against SoC and not the voltage under load. If you see a table with 10.8 volts at 0%, you are looking at a table for under load voltages. A battery at 10.5 - 10.8 volts at rest is probably damaged. A lead acid battery should never be below 11.80 volt at rest. ↩
