Environmental conditions, particularly temperature, significantly impact battery performance and lifespan.
Temperature Considerations:
- High Temperatures: Accelerate battery degradation and reduce cycle life.
- Low Temperatures: Reduce capacity and increase internal resistance.
- Optimal Operating Range:
- Lead-Acid: 15°C – 25°C
- Lithium-Ion: 10°C – 35°C
Thermal Management Strategies:
- Use climate-controlled enclosures for extreme environments.
- Install ventilation or cooling to prevent overheating.
- Choose batteries with high-temperature tolerance for hot climates.
Proper temperature management extends battery life and ensures reliable performance.
