Charging Flooded Lead Acid Batteries for Long Battery Life
naturally occurs during normal charging, but when a lead acid battery is overcharged, the electrolyte solution can overheat, causing hydrogen and oxygen gasses to form, increasing pressure inside the battery. Unsealed flooded lead acid batteries use venting technology to relieve the pressure and recirculate gas to the battery.
Lead Acid Battery Life Calculator: (SLA, AGM, Gel)
Discharging your battery at a higher rate will increase the temperature in battery cells which as result will cause power losses. e.g, a 100ah lead-acid battery with a C-rating of 0.05C (20 hours) will last about 20-25 minutes instead of 1 hour while running a 50 amp load (remember the 50% DoD limit).
