Lead/acid batteries

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%.
