Since that is no longer an issue (and never was an issue with lead acid batteries) there is not a need to fully discharge. By discharging a lead acid battery to below the manufacturer’s stated end of life discharge voltage you are allowing the polarity of some of the weaker cells to become reversed.
Lead acid batteries should never stay discharged for a long time, ideally not longer than a day. It's best to immediately charge a lead acid battery after a (partial) discharge to keep them from quickly deteriorating.
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.

Proper maintenance of sealed lead-acid batteries involves regular charging and discharging cycles, keeping the battery clean and dry, and avoiding exposure to extreme temperatures. It is also important to check the battery’s voltage regularly and to replace it when necessary. What is the charging and discharging process of lead acid battery?
Myth: The worst thing you can do is overcharge a lead acid battery. Fact: The worst thing you can do is under-charge a lead acid battery. Regularly under-charging a battery will result in sulfation with permanent loss of capacity and plate corrosion rates upwards of 25x normal.
What is the best way to charge sealed lead-acid batteries? The best way to charge sealed lead-acid batteries is to use a constant voltage-current limited charging method. …
Cycle life increases at lower temperature of operation and storage and with shallow discharge cycles. For lead–acid batteries, the depth of discharge should be less than …
The charging time for a lead acid battery can vary depending on its capacity and the charging current. Typically, it takes around 8-16 hours to fully charge a lead acid …
The 24V lead-acid battery state of charge voltage ranges from 25.46V (100% capacity) to 22.72V (0% capacity). The 48V lead-acid battery state of charge voltage ranges from 50.92 (100% capacity) to 45.44V (0% capacity). …

Discharging a lead-acid battery. Discharging refers to when a battery is in use, giving power to some device (though a battery will also discharge naturally even if it''s not used, known as self …
When an SLA battery is being discharged; the lead (Pb) on the negative plate and the lead …
The lifespan of a lead-acid battery depends on several factors, including the depth of discharge, the number of charge and discharge cycles, and the temperature at which …
Lead Acid batteries have changed little since the 1880''s although improvements in materials and manufacturing methods continue to bring improvements in energy density, life and reliability. …
Sealed lead-acid batteries can ensure high peak currents but you should avoid full discharges all the way to zero. The best recommendation is to charge after every use to ensure that a full …
Myth: Lead acid batteries can have a memory effect so you should always discharge them completely before recharging. Fact: Lead acid battery design and chemistry does not support …
Do I need to completely discharge my lead acid battery before recharging it? This is a hard and fast NO. By fully discharging your lead acid battery, or even discharging it below 80% of its …
The lead-acid battery can be recharged when it is fully discharged. For recharging, positive terminal of DC source is connected to positive terminal of the battery (anode) and negative …

When the battery is discharged, the lead sulfate and water react to form sulfuric acid and lead oxide. This process releases the stored energy and powers the device it is …
Depth of Discharge. Lead acid discharges to 1.75V/cell; nickel-based system to 1.0V/cell; and most Li-ion to 3.0V/cell. At this level, roughly 95 percent of the energy is …
A lead acid battery cell is approximately 2V. Therefore there are six cells in a 12V battery – each one comprises two lead plates which are immersed in dilute Sulphuric Acid …
When an SLA battery is being discharged; the lead (Pb) on the negative plate and the lead dioxide (PbO2) on the positive plate are converted to lead sulphate (PbSO4). At the same time …
