Figure 3: Depth of discharge vs. number of cycles
Cyclic Use
The number of charge/discharge cycles depends on the
capacity taken from the battery - a function of discharge
rate and depth of discharge - operating temperature and
the charging method.
Figure 3 shows the relationship between depth of
discharge and number of cycles, but also the capacity
increases during the early cycles.
Standby Use
The float service life, or the life expectancy under
continuous charge, depends on the frequency and
depth of discharge, the charge voltage and the ambient
temperature.
At a float voltage of 2.25-2.30 V/cell and an ambient
temperature of 68-77°F (20-25°C), PG-Series 6V & 12V
batteries are designed to yield a service life of up to 10
years before the capacity drops to about 60%.
The graph in Figure 5 shows life characteristics in float
(standby) service for ambient temperatures ranging
from 60-130°F (15-55°C).

If prevailing ambient temperatures are well above 68-77°F
(20-25°C) the life expectancy of this type of battery in float
service depends greatly on temperature compensated
charging. The typical temperature coefficient is -3mV/
cell/°C. The graph in Figure 5 is based on temperature
compensated charging.

Effects of Temperature
Actual capacity is a function of ambient temperature
and rate of discharge. At 68°F (20°C) rated capacity
is 100%. Above this temperature capacity increases,
below it capacity decreases as temperature falls.
While raising ambient temperatures increases
capacity, it also decreases useful service life. It is
estimated that battery life is halved for each 18°F
(10°C) above normal room temperature.
