Constant current discharge curves for a 550 Ah lead acid battery at different discharge rates, with a limiting voltage of 1.85V per cell (Mack, 1979). Longer discharge times give higher battery capacities. Maintenance Requirements. The production and escape of hydrogen and oxygen gas from a battery cause water loss and water must be regularly replaced in lead acid batteries.
Self-discharge for a lead acid battery is described below. (1) Chemical Both (+) active mass (lead dioxide) and (-) active mass (sponge lead), are either decomposed or brought to gradual reaction with sulfuric acid in the electrolyte, which then changes to stable lead sulfate causing self-discharge.

It is not charged in time after discharge. Lead-acid batteries are required to be charged in time within 24 hours after discharge, otherwise they will. It is vulcanized and cannot be fully charged within the specified time. The equalizing charge is not carried out in time. In the process of using the lead-acid battery, there will be unbalanced phenomenon. The reason is that the battery has
When a lead-acid battery is discharged, the electrolyte divides into H 2 and SO 4 combine with some of the oxygen that is formed on the positive plate to produce water (H 2 O), and thereby reduces the amount of acid in the electrolyte.
As the above equations show, discharging a battery causes the formation of lead sulfate crystals at both the negative and positive terminals, as well as the release of electrons due to the change in valence charge of the lead. The formation of this lead sulfate uses sulfate from the sulfuric acid electrolyte surrounding the battery.

2 | DISCHARGE AND SELF-DISCHARGE OF A LEAD-ACID BATTERY Introduction Lead-acid batteries are widely used as starter batteries for traction applications, such as for cars and trucks. The reason for this wide usage of lead-acid batteries is their low cost in combination with their performance robustness for a broad range of operating conditions.
In between the fully discharged and charged states, a lead acid battery will experience a gradual reduction in the voltage. Voltage level is commonly used to indicate a battery's state of charge. The dependence of the battery on the battery state of charge is shown in the figure below.
A lead acid battery consists of electrodes of lead oxide and lead are immersed in a solution of weak sulfuric acid. Potential problems encountered in lead acid batteries include: Gassing: Evolution of hydrogen and oxygen gas. Gassing of the battery leads to safety problems and to water loss from the electrolyte.
Wide differences in cycle performance may be experienced with two types of deep cycle batteries and therefore the cycle life and DOD of various deep-cycle batteries should be compared. A lead acid battery consists of electrodes of lead oxide and lead are immersed in a solution of weak sulfuric acid.
Potential problems encountered in lead acid batteries include: Gassing: Evolution of hydrogen and oxygen gas. Gassing of the battery leads to safety problems and to water loss from the electrolyte. The water loss increases the maintenance requirements of the battery since the water must periodically be checked and replaced.
Chemical energy is converted into electrical energy which is delivered to load. The lead-acid battery can be recharged when it is fully discharged. For recharging, positive terminal of DC source is connected to positive terminal of the battery (anode) and negative terminal of DC source is connected to the negative terminal (cathode) of the battery.
In a lead-acid battery, two types of lead are acted upon electro-chemically by an electrolytic solution of diluted sulfuric acid (H 2 SO 4). The positive plate consists of lead peroxide (PbO 2), and the negative plate is sponge lead (Pb), shown in Figure 4. Figure 4 : Chemical Action During Discharge
