Tech Note | The Proper Charging of Stationary Lead-Acid

Temperature Compensation. In North America, it is usual that battery performance and charging voltage is referenced to a nominal 77ºF (25ºC). Significant excursions above or below this norm will affect the way the battery should be charged, and this is significant for VRLA cells. Besides shortening battery life by causing electrolyte depletion (dry out) and positive grid/plate

6 FAQs about [Lead-acid battery charging temperature compensation]

Can a lead acid Charger prolong battery life?

Heat is the worst enemy of batteries, including lead acid. Adding temperature compensation on a lead acid charger to adjust for temperature variations is said to prolong battery life by up to 15 percent. The recommended compensation is a 3mV drop per cell for every degree Celsius rise in temperature.

Can lead acid batteries be charged at low temperatures?

This blog covers lead acid battery charging at low temperatures. A later blog will deal with lithium batteries. Charging lead acid batteries in cold (and indeed hot) weather needs special consideration, primarily due to the fact a higher charge voltage is required at low temperatures and a lower voltage at high temperatures.

Does your battery charger have temperature compensation?

If your batteries are exposed to warm or cold weather, it’s important that your battery charger has temperature compensation in order to maximize the life of the batteries by assuring that they’re receiving the proper recharge setpoints in all weather conditions.

What voltage does a lead acid battery charge?

A lead acid battery charges at a constant current to a set voltage that is typically 2.40V/cell at ambient temperature. This voltage is governed by temperature and is set higher when cold and lower when warm. Figure 2 illustrates the recommended settings for most lead acid batteries.

What is temperature compensation for float charging?

Temperature compensation for float charging involves the adjustment of the float voltage to prevent thermal runaway when the temperature is high and to prevent cell gradual self-discharge when the temperature is low as shown in Fig. 8.

Why do batteries need to be 'temperature compensated'?

Charging therefore needs to be ‘temperature compensated’ to improve battery care and this is required when the temperature of the battery is expected to be less than 10°C / 50°F or more than 30°C / 85°F. The centre point for temperature compensation is 25°C / 77°F. Cold weather also reduces a battery’s capacity.
