12. LEAD BATTERIES (PB)

a) General information

Lead acid batteries are completely different from lithium, NiMH or NiCd batteries. Despite their
high capacity they can only provide low currents. The charging process is also different.
The charging current for modern lead batteries must not exceed 0.4C; 1/10C is perfect for lead
batteries.
A higher charging current is not permitted; it would overload the battery! This
not only causes danger of explosion and fire, but also danger of injury from the
contained acid.
Also always observe the information printed on the battery or the information
provided by the battery manufacturer on the permitted charging current.
