Primary reactions during charging of a lead-acid battery involve converting lead sulfate back into lead and lead dioxide. The half-reaction at the positive plate converts lead sulfate (PbSO4) into lead dioxide (PbO2) while releasing sulfuric acid (H2SO4) into the electrolyte. The negative plate undergoes a similar conversion, turning lead

I am currently planning a system with three MPPTs, one Phoenix charger, a Cerbo GX and a Smart Shunt (or BMV-712 Smart) with an external battery temperature sensor. The battery is a lead-acid battery. Maybe, in some future the lead-acid battery will be replaced by a LiFePO4 battery.
First, connect the Shunt in series to the negative circuit of your battery. B- of shunt connects to B- of the battery. P- of shunt connects to P- of output and C- of charge. Then take a wire of 0.3-0.75 mm². One end of the wire connects to positive of battery, another end connects to B+ of Shunt (either one is ok).
Every single article about charging lead acid batteries explains the critical C-rate, which should be gently kept within 0.1C and 0.3C depending of the exact type of the lead
The most important first step in charging a lead-acid battery is selecting the correct charger. Lead-acid batteries come in different types, including flooded (wet), absorbed
*edit (if your charger is under sized, the BMV/Smartshunt etc can also assume the charge current when below the tail current means the batteries are full when in fact it''s the charger size that''s limiting the current.)

A charge efficiency of 95% means that 10Ah must be transferred to the battery to get 9.5Ah actually stored in the battery. The charge efficiency of a battery depends on battery type, age and usage. The battery
However, in general, for lead acid you will not do any harm with absorption of 14.4V and float of 13.6V. Here is an interesting article, it discusses lead acid "single cells" so you need to multiply by 6 to get numbers for a 12V battery.

Learn about battery types, key components of solar charging systems, and the steps to ensure your setup is optimal. Explore maintenance tips and factors that affect charging time, ensuring your off-grid adventures or home energy savings are hassle-free.
The charge efficiency of a lead acid battery is almost 100% as long as no gas generation takes place. Gassing means that part of the charge current is not transformed into chemical energy, which is stored in the plates of the battery, but is used to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen gas (highly explosive!).
The charge efficiency of a lead acid battery is almost 100% as long as no gas generation takes place. Gassing means that part of the charge current is not transformed into chemical energy,

Universal Battery Compatibility Provides vital battery information such as State of Charge (SOC), voltage, current, energy, remaining time, temperature, and starter battery voltage.
It is the voltage at which the shunt considers the battery close enough to fully charged to start detecting a current drop (the current drop indicating a true full charge). Victron''s recommendation is setting charged voltage .2v below absorption voltage – while perfect for most lead-acid batteries with a long absorption period, it''s not perfect for the SOK Lithium batteries.

The most important first step in charging a lead-acid battery is selecting the correct charger. Lead-acid batteries come in different types, including flooded (wet), absorbed glass mat (AGM), and gel batteries. Each type has specific charging requirements regarding voltage and current levels.
Shunt Placement: As we have already seen, a shunt is placed in series with the battery's negative. Voltage Drop: When the battery is used, current flows through the shunt, creating a small voltage drop. The shunt is designed to produce a voltage drop of 50-100mV at its rated current, so it's very predictable and consistent.
Even in storage, lead-acid batteries naturally lose charge over time, and failure to periodically recharge them can result in irreversible damage. 8. Proper Disposal and Recycling of Lead-Acid Batteries Lead-acid batteries contain hazardous materials, including lead and sulfuric acid, making proper disposal crucial.
That's why we need a different device to measure the state of charge on a lithium battery. A shunt is a device you install on the main battery negative in your system. It measures all the energy going through it, both charge and discharge. Let me show you a diagram: How Does a Shunt Work?
