6 FAQs about [Consequences of hydrogen evolution in lead-acid batteries]

How does hydrogen evolution affect battery performance?

Hydrogen evolution impacts battery performance as a secondary and side reaction in Lead–acid batteries. It influences the volume, composition, and concentration of the electrolyte. Generally accepted hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) mechanisms in acid solutions are as follows:

Why do lead acid batteries outgass?

This hydrogen evolution, or outgassing, is primarily the result of lead acid batteries under charge, where typically the charge current is greater than that required to maintain a 100% state of charge due to the normal chemical inefficiencies of the electrolyte and the internal resistance of the cells.

What are the electrode potentials of flooded lead acid batteries?

Figure 1 shows the single electrode potentials of flooded lead acid batteries at the x-axis of the diagram, the positive electrode range on the right (+1.7 V), and the negative-electrode range on the left side (-0.23V).

How does hydrogen evolution affect water loss and self-discharge?

At high rates, the significant increase in hydrogen evolution results in water loss and increased self-discharge. As a result, the sulfuric acid concentration becomes high, the dissolution of lead sulfate decreases, and early hydrogen evolution occurs.

What is a flooded lead acid battery?

Despite the enormous growth in the use of VRLA batteries as a primary energy storage solution over the past two decades, the flooded lead acid battery remains a preferred and reliable solution for many truly mission critical back-up applications in the telecommunications, utility, and industrial/switchgear industries.

Do flooded lead acid batteries outgas?

In fact, flooded lead acid batteries will outgas at varying rates under almost all conditions, even in storage where minor amounts of gas will be produced due to the normal evaporation of water and the tendency to self-discharge.
