How long will my battery last?
The lifespan of a battery will vary considerably with how it is used, how it is maintained and charged, temperature, and other factors.
What is the Amp Hour (Ah) rating?
An amp-hour is one amp for one hour, or 10 amp for 1/10 of an hour and so forth. It is amp X hours. If you have something that pulls 20 amp, and you use it for 20 minutes, then the amp-hours used would be 20 (amp) X .333 (hours), or 6.67 AH. The accepted AH rating time period for batteries used in solar electric and backup power systems (and for nearly all deep cycle batteries) is the "20 hour rate". This means that it is discharged down to 10.5 volts over a 20 hour period while the total actual amp-hours it supplies is measured. Sometimes ratings at the 6 hour rate and 100 hour rate are also given for comparison and for different applications. The 6-hour rate is often used for industrial batteries, as that is a typical daily duty cycle. Sometimes the 100 hour rate is given just to make the battery look better than it really is, but it is also useful for figuring battery capacity for long-term backup amp-hour requirements.
Can batteries freeze?
In a partially discharged state, the electrolyte in a lead acid battery may freeze. At a 40% state of charger, electrolyte will freeze if the temperature reaches approximately ?6.0°F. The freezing temperature of the electrolyte in a fully charged battery is -92.0°F.
My new laptop battery is not Charging. What is wrong?
New batteries are shipped in a discharged condition and must be charged before use. We generally recommend an overnight charger (approximately twelve hours). Refer to the user's manual for charging instructions. Rechargeable batteries should be cycled (fully charged and then fully discharged) two to four times initially to allow them to reach their full capacity. (Note: it is normal for a battery to become warm to the touch during charging and discharging).
