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.
The problems associated with cold temperature operation for lead-acid batteries can be listed as follows: Increase of the on-charge battery voltage. The colder the battery on charge, the higher the internal resistance.
While heat impacts both the performance and lifespan of a battery, cold weather impacts the performance of the battery with little effect on its lifespan. However, this can be particularly inconvenient when you particularly need your car, for instance, during a cold winter morning.
This article demonstrates how a lead-acid battery can be unknowingly used and abused simply by not recognising the need for temperature compensations in the charging and discharging of a battery during cold weather periods. The problems associated with cold temperature operation for lead-acid batteries can be listed as follows:
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. However, it is fair to say that very few end users are aware of the full implications of using batteries at low temperatures.
The low temperatures pose a unique problem on car batteries in particular. While heat impacts both the performance and lifespan of a battery, cold weather impacts the performance of the battery with little effect on its lifespan.
