6 FAQs about [Lead-acid battery humidity requirements]

What temperature should lead acid batteries be stored?

All lead acid batteries discharge when in storage – a process known as ‘calendar fade’ – so the right environment and active maintenance are essential to ensure the batteries maintain their ability to achieve fill capacity. This is true of both flooded lead acid and sealed lead acid batteries. The ideal storage temperature is 50°F (10°C).

What are the requirements for a lead-acid battery ventilation system?

The ventilation system must prevent the accumulation of hydrogen pockets greater than 1% concentration. Flooded lead-acid batteries must be provided with a dedicated ventilation system that exhausts outdoors and prevents circulation of air in other parts of the building.

Do flooded lead-acid batteries need ventilation?

Flooded lead-acid batteries must be provided with a dedicated ventilation system that exhausts outdoors and prevents circulation of air in other parts of the building. VRLA batteries require comparatively lower ventilation, usually enough to remove heat and gases that might be generated.

How often should a lead acid battery be recharged?

Sealed lead acid batteries need to be kept above 70% State of Charge (SoC). If you are storing your batteries at the ideal temperature and humidity levels then a general rule of thumb would be to recharge the batteries every six months. However if you are not sure then you can check the voltage as follows:

How do you keep a lead acid battery from rusting?

If you are in an area with high humidity and the terminals are from a metal that will rust then smear them with grease to provide a water proof layer. Sealed lead acid batteries need to be kept above 70% State of Charge (SoC).

How long can a lead acid battery last?

You can store a sealed lead acid battery for up to 2 years. Since all batteries gradually self-discharge over time, it is important to check the voltage and/or specific gravity, and then apply a charge when the battery falls to 70 percent state-of-charge, which reflects 2.07V/cell open circuit or 12.42V for a 12V pack.
