LIFECYCLE OF BATTERIES

Glossary > LIFECYCLE OF BATTERIES

Service life of lead-acid batteries is defined in “cycles”, which is a charge-discharge process. A battery charged to 100% can be used up to 20% (some trucks disable the lifting function when 20% is reached), then it must be charged to 100%. Any different usage, such as using it up to 40% and then charging it to 60%, counts as one cycle in terms of lifespan. It’s clear that “intermediate” charges significantly reduce the service life.
