Battery energy storage is becoming a viable economic option for standalone solar power systems in the Levant region. The lead battery is one of the most important current options in solar energy storage systems. Batteries are subject to many factors, during its operation that causes batteries' de-gradation and impacting its shelf life. This paper presents features of the cycle recovery charging (CRC) method in refreshing and settling utilized lead batteries that have been utilized as a part of home solar energy storage systems. Experimental tests were performed on the utilized gel - lead battery (12 V 97 Ah C/5 h solar battery). The findings of these experiments show that this new recovery charging method that established important improvements in terms of charging realization. The foregoing improvements contributed to increasing the shelf life of the battery, capacity recovery, maintaining the cell stability and refreshing the batteries.
