Lead atteries have a recommended maximum continuous discharge current which is typically the same as the maximum charge current of the battery. This rate can be exceeded for brief periods of time when surge loads are operating or a heavy load, like a well pump, is operating for a few minutes, but the size of the energy storage system should be increased if the amount of current that the inverter will require to operate at its continuous duty rating exceeds the recommended value for the battery. Commonly used values for the maximum continous discharge current for different lead acid batteries are as follows:[1]

  • A maximum of 13% of the C/20 Ah rating is recommended for flooded and gel batteries.
  • A maximum of 20% of the C/20 Ah rating is recommended for AGM batteries.
