Morning Hicups

You may have experienced a unique failure mode, but I,ve not heard of anyone having cycled a lead acid battery before and brought back a positive result. I have done it on large battery arrays during comissioning to make sure that they meet capacity specs. Other than that, constant float charge & ambient temp ensures longest life. Discharge, vibration etc all shorten life. These starting batteries are designed for high rate discharge ie motor starting & not for deep discharge cycling so be careful not to overdo the discharge. The weakest cell will collapse first so keep an eye on the voltage. Overdoing it will weaken or kill the battery. Cleaning the electrical terminals may have helped, I'm not being smart, just offering a possible suggestion.
