3.3 - LOW DISCHARGE RATE EFFECTS
Battery cycle life will be reduced when the constant load applied in a cyclic
application is at or below 0.7% of the total Ah in the battery bank (C20 rating). This is
due to a higher rate of sulfation occuring in the middle of the plate that will cause a
reduction in available capacity which in turns increases the depth of discharge over
time. An effort to either increase the load above 0.7% of C20 and/or reduce the size
of the battery bank’s capacity so the load is above 0.7% of C20 should be put forth if
possible.
3.4 - DEPTH OF DISCHARGE VS. BATTERY LIFE
Battery cycle life will vary significantly depending on the depth of discharge. The
deeper the depth of discharge, the fewer the cycles a battery will deliver. Conversely,
the shallower the depth of discharge, the more cycles a battery will deliver (as shown
in the chart below).
To optimize the health of your battery, limit discharge to 80% or less.
