What is the difference between a discharged battery and a dead battery?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
Dead battery = 0 volts.

Discharged battery = 10 volts.

Dead means totally discharged.

Never let it go to 0 volts.

You'll injure it.

sometimes a dead battery looses its ability to sinc your electrical system when the ground in the battery fails (they wont jump) where a discharged battery will

If it's only discharged it can be recharged again.

If it's dead, it can't

Most people use those terms interchangably.
