Lead acid batteries

Rob Eagle

Is there any limit to how long a lead acid battery can continuously supply a load, this is assuming that the capacity of the battery is capable of supplying the load for the period of whatever it may be.

    The other thing to watch out for is that lead acid batteries hate being run flat.  Deep discharge ones (leisure batteries) can cope better than car batteries, but the usual rule of thumb is that you shouldn't discharge the battery more than 50% if you want to get a decent life from it.
