What is the applicable temperature of lead-acid batteries?

 Generally speaking, the environmental temperature is the key factor affecting the life of batteries.General battery manufacturers require ambient temperatures ranging from 20 to 25 degrees Celsius. Although the increase of temperature has improved the discharge ability of batteries, the cost is that the life of batteries has been greatly shortened. According to the test results, once the ambient temperature exceeds 25 degrees, the battery life will be reduced by half for every 10 degrees of temperature increase. At present, UPS batteries are generally maintenance-free sealed lead-acid batteries. The planned life of UPS batteries is five years, which can only be reached in the environment required by battery manufacturers. Failure to meet the environmental requirements of the rules, the length of their life will vary greatly. Otherwise, the progress of ambient temperature will lead to the increase of chemical activity inside the battery, and then a large amount of heat energy will occur, which in turn will promote the rise of ambient temperature. This vicious cycle will accelerate the shortening of battery life.

Batteries have brought great convenience to our life, but often some people will show some minor faults in operation. These faults have a great connection with our equipment. Now let's look at the correct equipment methods.

1. Before the equipment, check whether the leak is damaged or not, and clean the surface of the battery with dry cloth. If the shell is cracked, the battery should be replaced immediately when leakage occurs, so as to avoid acid corrosion.

2. Batteries should be upright and not inverted. They should also be shockproof, pressure-proof and robust. They should not run against each other, rub against each other and enter water.

3. In order to ensure safe operation, it is necessary to keep ventilation holes in the battery box of equipment batteries, and no blockage is allowed to prevent gas from gathering in the battery box.
