Recharging 

Generally speaking, lead sulfate will be produced on the battery negative plate when they are 
stored for a long time. KiloVault® 2100 PLC batteries can be stored for up to 24 months. Because 
lead sulfate is an electrical insulator, it negatively affects the performance of the battery.  We 
recommend the following recharge schedule based on storage temperatures. 

If a battery is stored under 68°F (20°C), it should be recharged every 9 months, at a constant 
13.38V to 13.62V, current limit 0.25C

10

 for 2 to 3 days. 

If it is stored between 68°F and 86°F (20°C to 30°C), it should be recharged every 6 months at 
13.8V to 14.4V, current limit 0.25C

10

 for 10 to 16 hours. 

If it is stored between 86°F and 104°F (30°C to 40°C), it should be recharged every 3 months at 
13.8V to 14.4V (temperature compensated -3mV/°C), current limit 0.1C

10

 for 8 hours or 0.05 C

10

 

for 16 hours.

Open-Circuit Voltage (OCV) vs. State of Charge (SoC) 

The open-circuit voltage of lead acid batteries varies with the specific gravity of the electrolyte. 
While discharging, the specific gravity of the electrolyte changes greatly but cannot be 
measured in a closed battery, so the open-circuit voltage is measured and the approximate 
residual capacity is calculated.
