Abstract
In a method for charging a lead-acid battery having a non-antimony-lead alloy grid, after charging the battery, the battery is incidentally discharged in such a manner that the voltage of said battery which has been incidentally discharged per cell falls below the sum of 70 mV and equilibrium voltage that is an open circuit voltage of the battery in equilibrium state after being fully charged.
