6V sealed lead acid batteries are fully charged at around 6.44 volts and fully discharged at around 6.11 volts (assuming 50% max depth of discharge). 6V flooded lead acid batteries are fully charged at around 6.32 volts and fully discharged at around 6.03 volts (assuming 50% max depth of discharge).
They are made by connecting three 2V lead acid cells in series. 6V sealed lead acid batteries are fully charged at around 6.44 volts and fully discharged at around 6.11 volts (assuming 50% max depth of discharge).
At 0% charge, a 12V lead acid battery will have an 11.36V voltage. This is a full 1.37V difference between 100% and 0% charge. Onward to 24 lead acid battery chart: We see the same lead-acid discharge curve for 24V lead-acid batteries as well; it has an actual voltage of 24V at 43% capacity.
You can safely discharge these to around 30% of their capacity, whereas a lead acid battery can only safely be used to around 50% of its capacity. They discharge at a slower rate than sealed lead acid batteries. Our 6V battery voltage chart illustrates how a battery loses voltage as it loses charge.
The ideal charging voltage for a 6V lead acid battery is between 6.8 and 7.2 volts. Charging the battery at this voltage range will ensure that it is charged properly and will also extend the battery’s lifespan. At what voltage level should a 6V battery be replaced?
24V flooded lead acid batteries are fully charged at around 25.29 volts and fully discharged at around 24.14 volts (assuming 50% max depth of discharge). Individual lead acid cells have a nominal voltage of 2 volts (sometimes listed as 2.1 volts).
