What is the number of charge-discharge cycles for a Suzuki SLI 50AH battery when 60% of its capacity is discharged
Dear Bashar,
Wish you happy new year. Routine International or Regional standards for testing SLI battery (Such as IEC 60095-1) or Automobile manufacturer’s standards (such as PSA B25 5210), Emphasis on 25% DOD endurance (when 25% of battery capacity is discharged). Ambient temperature in these tests, usually vary from 25 to 40 Degrees Celsius. However, our conventional batteries (SLI) are capable to pass >192 cycles.
We very appreciate you as a punctilious user.
Please be in touch, for any further information.
is L2 a lead acid battery?
Of course it is 🙂
