 +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).  Shorted batteries will tend to overheat when charged/discharged.
