Theperformanceandlifeofabatterywillvarywiththeapplication,usage,
temperatureanddepthofdischarge.AGMandGelbatteriestendtodeliverahigher
capacitythanrated(upto10-15%higher)untiltheyarebrokenin(approximately30
cycles)andsettleattheirratedcapacity.
3.1 - TEMPERATURE EFFECTS ON BATTERY PERFORMANCE AND LIFE
Operatingbatteriesabove80°F(27°C)willyieldruntimesabovetheratedcapacity
whileoperatingbatteriesbelow80°F(27°C)willyieldruntimesbelowtherated
capacity.Coldtemperaturescansignicantlyreducebatterycapacity(asshownin
the chart below).
Although higher temperatures increase the battery capacity, they also accelerate
corrosionandreduceoverallbatterylife.Forexample,batteriesoperating
continuouslyat100°F(37.8°C),couldexperienceasmuchasa25%reductioninlife.
