1. Battery Type and Lifespan
Lead-acid batteries: Standard models last approximately 3-5 years. Lighthouse-specific batteries (such as GFM-3000) can last longer with proper care.
Lithium-ion batteries: Types like lithium iron phosphate have a longer lifespan, reaching 5-8 years and supporting over 2000 charge/discharge cycles.
2. Factors Affecting Lifespan
Usage Habits: Frequent deep discharges, overcharging, or high-temperature environments will shorten lifespan.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning, checking connections, and avoiding over-discharge can effectively extend battery life.
Tips for Extending Lifespan
Proper Operation: Avoid over-discharging, charge promptly, and avoid use in extreme temperatures.
Regular Maintenance: Perform equalization charging and capacity testing quarterly or semi-annually, and replace aging batteries promptly.
3. Replacement and Disposal
Replacement Timing: Consider replacement when battery life significantly decreases or charging becomes abnormal.
Safe Disposal: Recycle used batteries according to local regulations; do not litter.
