done to compensate for the voltage drop induced by the internal resistance of
the cell, the wiring, protection devices and contacts of the pack. A lower
cut-off point also delivers better battery performance at cold temperatures.
The recommended end-of-discharge voltage for the SLA is 1.75V/cell. Unlike
the preferred flat discharge curve of the NiCd, the SLA has a gradual voltage
drop with a rapid drop towards the end of discharge (see Figure 5-1).
Although this steady decrease in voltage is a disadvantage, it has a benefit
because the voltage level can be utilized to display the state-of-charge
(SoC) of a battery. However, the voltage readings fluctuate with load and the
