Many organizations have established standards that address lead-acid battery safety, performance, testing, and maintenance. Standards are norms or requirements that establish a basis for the common understanding and judgment of materials, products, and processes.
This document provides recommended maintenance, test schedules, and testing procedures that can be used to optimize the life and performance of permanently installed, vented lead-acid storage batteries used in standby service. It also provides guidance to determine when batteries should be replaced.
The charging method is another key procedure in any test specification. Most documents follow the approach that it shall be ensured that the lead–acid battery is completely charged after each single test. The goal is that the testing results are not influenced by an insufficient state-of-charge of the battery.
The lead–acid battery standardization technology committee is mainly responsible for the National standards of lead–acid batteries in different applications (GB series). It also includes all of lead–acid battery standardization, accessory standards, related equipment standards, Safety standards and environmental standards. 19.1.14.
Standardization for lead–acid batteries for automotive applications is organized by different standardization bodies on different levels. Individual regions are using their own set of documents. The main documents of different regions are presented and the procedures to publish new documents are explained.
Initial performance parameters are the key properties of a lead–acid starter battery. These are the total energy or capacity content and the ability to be discharged with a high current at low temperatures to start an internal combustion engine.
Lead–acid battery
The lead–acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery first invented in 1859 by French physicist Gaston Planté is the first type of rechargeable battery ever created. Compared to modern rechargeable batteries, lead–acid batteries have relatively low energy density spite this, they are able to supply high surge currents.These features, along with their low cost, make them …
BU-403: Charging Lead Acid
Test show that a heathy lead acid battery can be charged at up to 1.5C as long as the current is moderated towards a full charge when the battery reaches about 2.3V/cell (14.0V with 6 cells). Charge acceptance is highest when SoC is low and diminishes as the battery fills. Battery state-of-health and temperature also play an important role when fast-charging. Make …

A fully charged 12V lead-acid battery should read around 12.6V or higher. A reading below 12.4V indicates partial discharge, while below 12.0V suggests significant discharge or potential failure. For 6V batteries, the corresponding values would be half of those for 12V batteries (6.3V for full charge, 6.0V or lower for discharge). While voltage testing is quick, it …
