Compared to some other batteries, such as NiCad, one serious drawback of lead acid batteries is that they are affected by temperature. They should only be used where they are installed in conditioned environments not subject to excessive temperatures.
Typically, lead acid batteries are rated based on an ambient temperature of 25 o C. For every 8 o C above ambient during operation, the battery's life will be reduced by 50%. Ideally, batteries should be operated and stored at 25 o C or less.
Failure mechanisms may be different but they are just as damaging as those created by higher temperatures. Operating lead-acid batteries at low temperatures, without temperature compensation will have damaging consequences for both the application and the battery. These are principally:
Lead acid batteries should be used in conditioned environments not subject to excessive temperatures. The life of the battery is reduced by 50% for every 8 o C above the ambient temperature of 25 o C during use. Lead acid batteries should only be used where they are installed in such environments.
Most battery users are fully aware of the dangers of operating lead-acid batteries at high temperatures. Most are also acutely aware that batteries fail to provide cranking power during cold weather. Both of these conditions will lead to early battery failure.
Lead acid batteries should be stored in a charged state and at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius or less when not in use. Elevated temperatures, especially in a discharged condition, can make the batteries effectively useless.
