As a general rule, Banner recommends an operating temperature of max. -40 to +55 degrees Celsius; optimum storage conditions are approx. +25 to +27 degrees Celsius. These criteria apply to all lead-acid batteries and are valid for conventional, EFB, AGM and GEL technology.
If the float voltage is set to 2.30V/cell at 25°C (77°F), the voltage should read 2.27V/cell at 35°C (95°F). Going colder, the voltage should be 2.33V/cell at 15°C (59°F). These 10°C adjustments represent 30mV change. Table 3 indicates the optimal peak voltage at various temperatures when charging lead acid batteries.
