Aging Factors for Depth Discharge
Here be the factors that contribute to the decline of a battery's depth discharge:
1. Oxidation
As a battery ages, its electrodes corrode, reducing its capacity for depth.
2. Sulfidation
Impurities in the electrolyte cause a buildup of sulfur compounds, making it harder for the battery to discharge.
3. Self-discharge
A battery's internal resistance increases with age, leading to a decrease in depth.
Don't forget to regularly inspect your battery and keep it from regularly inspecting it!
