Similar with other types of batteries, high temperature will degrade cycle lifespan and discharge efficiency of lead-acid batteries, and may even cause fire or explosion issues under extreme circumstances.
Lead-acid batteries: A lead-acid battery should come with a smart charger that allows for voltage changes when sensing fluctuating temperature ranges. It should set the voltage higher when the battery is charged at lower temperatures and a lower voltage when charging at higher temperatures.
Heat is the worst enemy of batteries, including lead acid. Adding temperature compensation on a lead acid charger to adjust for temperature variations is said to prolong battery life by up to 15 percent. The recommended compensation is a 3mV drop per cell for every degree Celsius rise in temperature.
Charging at cold and hot temperatures requires adjustment of voltage limit. Freezing a lead acid battery leads to permanent damage. Always keep the batteries fully charged because in the discharged state the electrolyte becomes more water-like and freezes earlier than when fully charged.
If the float voltage is set to 2.30V/cell at 25°C (77°F), the voltage should read 2.27V/cell at 35°C (95°F). Going colder, the voltage should be 2.33V/cell at 15°C (59°F). These 10°C adjustments represent 30mV change. Table 3 indicates the optimal peak voltage at various temperatures when charging lead acid batteries.
A lead acid battery charges at a constant current to a set voltage that is typically 2.40V/cell at ambient temperature. This voltage is governed by temperature and is set higher when cold and lower when warm. Figure 2 illustrates the recommended settings for most lead acid batteries.
