What is a good Peukert exponent for a lead acid battery?
An ideal (theoretical) battery has a Peukert exponent of 1.00 and has a fixed capacity regardless of the size of the discharge current. The default setting in the battery monitor for the Peukert exponent is 1.25. This is an acceptable average value for most lead acid batteries. Peukert’s equation is stated below:
How long does a lead acid battery take to charge?
Last example, a lead acid battery with a C10 (or C/10) rated capacity of 3000 Ah should be charge or discharge in 10 hours with a current charge or discharge of 300 A. C-rate is an important data for a battery because for most of batteries the energy stored or available depends on the speed of the charge or discharge current.
How many Ah can a lead acid battery deliver?
A lead acid battery is rated at 100Ah at C20, this means that this battery can deliver a total current of 100A over 20 hours at a rate of 5A per hour. C20 = 100Ah (5 x 20 = 100). When the same 100Ah battery is discharged completely in two hours, its capacity is greatly reduced. Because of the higher rate of discharge, it may only give C2 = 56Ah.
