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.
Make certain that the battery does not “boil” or heat up during charge. Put an eye on the battery when charging above the manufacturer’s recommended C-rate. Watering is the single most important step in maintaining a flooded lead acid battery; a requirement that is all too often neglected.
This means that if you (accidentally) short-circuit a lead acid battery, the battery can explode or it can cause a fire. Whatever object caused the short-circuit, will probably be destroyed. Because lead acid batteries can supply such high currents, it's important to assure that you use the right wire thickness / diameter.
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.
Customers often ask us about the ideal charging current for recharging our AGM sealed lead acid batteries. We have the answer: 25% of the battery capacity. The battery capacity is indicated by Ah (Ampere Hour). For example: In a 12V 45Ah Sealed Lead Acid Battery, the capacity is 45 Ah.
The recommended charging voltage for a lead acid battery is around 2.3 to 2.4 volts per cell, or about 13.8 to 14.4 volts for a 12-volt battery. It’s important to avoid overcharging the battery as it can lead to electrolyte loss and damage to the battery. Can I use a regular car battery charger to charge a lead acid battery?
What is the lifespan of a lead-acid battery? The lifespan of a lead-acid battery can vary depending on the quality of the battery and its usage. Generally, a well-maintained …
