Re: Discharging lead acid batteries?

Hi Pesovic,

I agree with Larry, except 1.75 VPC (10.5 VDC for a 12-volt battery) @
25 degrees C, is generally considered to be as low as you would want
to discharge your batteries to prevent cell reversal.  Some battery
manufacturers define 0% SoC at a higher voltage than 1.75 VPC, so I
would recommend that you check the specs on your battery before
discharging and recharging them.

Kindest regards,
