===== premature failure ===== | ===== premature failure ===== |
| |
| Lead batteries tend to lose capacity very gradually over time, and are typically replaced when they only have 80% of their rated capacity. If a dying battery still meets your needs feel free to [[electrical:severe_battery_use|use it until it croaks]]. |

Lead batteries can fail prematurely from [[electrical:batterycide|abuse and/or undercharging]] (usually gradual), or physical failure like cells shorting out (usually sudden). Shorted batteries will tend to overheat when charged/discharged. | Lead batteries can fail prematurely from [[electrical:batterycide|abuse and/or undercharging]] (usually gradual), or physical failure like cells shorting out (usually sudden).

This type of VRLA battery gelatinizes the electrolyte with SiO2 (silicon dioxide) to stabilize it. While renowned for their duty cycles, they are rarely used in campers due to cost, limited charging max similar to flooded((C/5, https://www.trojanbattery.com/pdf/datasheets/Motive_T1275-AGM_DS.pdf and https://www.qsl.net/wb3gck/gel-cell.htm)), and sensitivity to overvoltage. | This type of VRLA battery gelatinizes the electrolyte with SiO2 (silicon dioxide) to stabilize it.

Some sources suggest C/20 is a safer max.((https://forum.solar-electric.com/discussion/comment/295747#Comment_295747)) |
