BU-403: Charging Lead Acid
The lead acid battery uses the constant current constant voltage (CCCV) charge method. A regulated current raises the terminal voltage until the upper charge voltage limit is reached, at which point the current drops due to saturation. The charge time is 12–16 hours and up to 36–48 hours for large stationary batteries.
Difference between controlled current and constant voltage charging
CC control loop is used first. The charge controller monitors the current and adjusts (in a closed loop) such that the battery pull just the right amount of current. When certain voltage is reached, the controller switches to CV loop. CV loop keeps the constant voltage until charge current becomes small, at which point charging terminates.
Basics of battery charging circuit design
During the absorption stage (sometimes called the "equalization stage"), the remaining 20% of the charging is completed. During this stage, the controller will shift to constant voltage mode, maintaining the target charging voltage, typically between 14.1Vdc and 14.8Vdc, depending on the specific type of lead-acid battery being charged, while …

Constant current — constant voltage (CC-CV) is by far the most common charging method. The battery is charged at a constant current (CC) up to a voltage cutoff, followed by a...
6.12: Battery characteristics
The battery cycle life for a rechargeable battery is defined as the number of charge/recharge cycles a secondary battery can perform before its capacity falls to 80% of what it originally was. This is typically between 500 and 1200 cycles. The battery shelf life is the time a battery can be stored inactive before its capacity falls to 80%.
