Compared to advanced lead-acid batteries, the PbC batteries: Support higher [10-20x] charge acceptance and faster recharge [5-10x] in partial state-of-charge (PSOC) applications; Offer an 4x increase in cycle life in 100% depth-of-discharge applications; and. This limits the ability of battery to take on recharge. PbC battery.
