Introduction
Prevention is far more effective than repair. Proper system design and maintenance habits can eliminate the risk of undercharging entirely.

Best Practices
1. Correct Charging Settings
Follow manufacturer’s recommended bulk, absorption, and float voltage.
2. Adequate Solar Array Size
Ensure PV capacity is enough to recharge the battery fully each day.
3. Reduce Deep Discharge
Avoid constant operation below 30% SOC.
4. Monthly Equalization (Flooded)
Prevents stratification and maintains chemical balance.
5. Regular Maintenance
- Clean terminals
- Check cable torque
- Monitor temperature
Conclusion
Good system design and regular maintenance protect lead-acid batteries from long-term undercharging and extend their service life significantly.
