Introduction
Proper installation conditions are essential to ensure the safety and longevity of lead-acid batteries in residential energy storage systems.
1. Temperature Control
Ideal operating temperature:
- 20°C–25°C (68°F–77°F)
High temperatures accelerate aging, while low temperatures reduce available capacity.
2. Ventilation and Gas Management
Flooded lead-acid batteries release hydrogen gas during charging. Adequate ventilation is mandatory to prevent explosion risks.
3. Indoor vs Outdoor Installation
- AGM/Gel batteries are suitable for indoor use
- Flooded batteries should be placed in dedicated battery rooms or outdoor enclosures
4. Mechanical Stability and Clearance
Allow sufficient spacing between batteries to improve heat dissipation and facilitate maintenance.
Conclusion
Following installation best practices ensures stable operation, improved safety, and extended battery lifespan.
