When the sulphuric acid is dissolved, its molecules are dissociated into hydrogen ions (2H+) and sulfate ions (SO4– –) which moves freely in the electrolyte. When the load resistance is connected to terminals of the battery; the sulfate ions (SO4– –) travel towards the cathode and hydrogen ions (2H+) travel towards the.

The life cycle of lead-acid batteries The lead-acid battery life cycle depends upon various factors. Generally, we say its charging/discharging cycle is about 200 to 300 cycles for shallow cycle batteries, but this number can increase or decrease. The life cycle of this battery depends upon three factors depth of discharge, correct charging

There is a need to use techniques to estimate the electrical characteristics of the batteries. In this way, the battery models try to simulate the actual operational characteristics and can be used to predict their
Freshening Charge – Lead-acid batteries will self-discharge from the day they are manufactured until they are put into service. As it is often several months before the battery is installed, it is important that a "freshening" charge be given before the battery exceeds its storage shelf life. For lead-antimony or selenium, this is usually 3 months, and for lead-calcium, 6 months. Some

Typical charge and discharge curves (variations in terminal voltage) of a lead-acid accumulator are shown in Fig. 16.34. When the cell is charged, the voltage of the cell increases from 1.8 V to 2.2 V during first two hours, then increases very slowly, rather remains almost constant for sufficient time and finally rises to 2.5 to 2.7 V.

In practice, the relationship between battery capacity and discharge current is not linear, and less energy is recovered at faster discharge rates. During discharge, ohmic losses in electrolyte and contacts lower voltage. Internal impedance increases due to lowering electrolyte concentration and electrode sulfation.
In the lead-acid system the average voltage during discharge, the capacity delivered, and the energy output are dependent upon the discharge current. A typical example is given

Abstract. The traditional methods of charging lead-acid batteries depend on stabilizing the current or voltage through simple electronic circuits, which causes the shorten the life of the batteries due to damage to the electrodes or the hot and dry batteries.
Test show that a heathy lead acid battery can be charged at up to 1.5C as long as the current is moderated towards a full charge when the battery reaches about 2.3V/cell (14.0V with 6 cells). Charge acceptance is highest when SoC is low and diminishes as the battery fills.
As a lead-acid battery is charged in the reverse direction, the action described in the discharge is reversed. The lead sulphate (PbSO 4) is driven out and back into the electrolyte (H 2 SO 4). The return of acid to the electrolyte will reduce the sulphate in the plates and increase the specific gravity.
Lead acid charging uses a voltage-based algorithm that is similar to lithium-ion. The charge time of a sealed lead acid battery is 12–16 hours, up to 36–48 hours for large stationary batteries.
This mode works well for installations that do not draw a load when on standby. Lead acid batteries must always be stored in a charged state. A topping charge should be applied every 6 months to prevent the voltage from dropping below 2.05V/cell and causing the battery to sulfate. With AGM, these requirements can be relaxed.
