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 zinc- air batteries are often called ‘air alkaline’ in the literature

    (more on that electric fence style model )

    Cell voltage about 1.3,  a “9V” block is abit short really usually  6 cells.

    shelf life unopened 2-3 years, reduces fast to some weeks once air is admitted. The KOH tends to draw in extra moisture so it is self diluting over time. In humid places a month or two once the air port is open.
