The nominal capacity of sealed lead acid battery is calculated according to JIS C8702-1 Standard with using 20-hour discharge rate. For example, the capacity of WP5-12 battery is 5Ah, which means that when the battery is discharged with C20 rate, i.e., 0.25 amperes, the discharge time will be 20 hours.
The lead acid battery maintains a strong foothold as being rugged and reliable at a cost that is lower than most other chemistries. The global market of lead acid is still growing but other systems are making inroads. Lead acid works best for standby applications that require few deep-discharge cycles and the starter battery fits this duty well.
1. Construction of sealed lead acid batteries Positive plate: Pasting the lead paste onto the grid, and transforming the paste with curing and formation processes to lead dioxide active material. The grid is made of Pb-Ca alloy, and the lead paste is a mixture of lead oxide and sulfuric acid.
The motor can draw quite a lot of current when stalling and I am worried of overdischarging the lead acid battery. Unlike LiPo batteries with have a maximum current rating, the lead acid battery only stated the "initial current", which is used for charging. The label stated not to short the battery.
When the lead acid battery is discharging, the active materials of both the positive and negative plates are reacted with sulfuric acid to form lead sulfate. After discharge, the concentration of sulfuric acid in the electrolyte is decreased, and results in the increase of the internal resistance of the battery.
