FIAMM Industrial Batteries December 2012 FIAMM AGM Valve Regulated Recom ombination Batteries: FLX Series- Engineering Manual 1 OPERATING C CHARACTERISTICS Capacity and final discharge vo voltage Battery capacity is rated in Ampe peres per hours (Ah). Nominal capacity is usually ly declared according to discharging rate of 20 hours to 1.

According to international standards a battery is considered at the end of its service life when the battery delivers less than 80% of its rated capacity. FIAMM FLX batteries have a design life of up to 10 years. Confirmation of service life comes not only from consistent feed-back from field applications, but also from extensive accelerated thermal testing.
The state of charge of lead acid batteries slowly decreases while on open circuit due to self discharge. In FIAMM FLX batteries, the rate of self discharge is approximately 2% per month at 77° F (+/- 5° F). In case of extended storage it is necessary to refresh the batteries every 6 months to avoid a permanent loss of capacity.
