What is a lead acid battery?
A lead acid battery consists of a negative electrode made of spongy or porous lead. The lead is porous to facilitate the formation and dissolution of lead. The positive electrode consists of lead oxide. Both electrodes are immersed in a electrolytic solution of sulfuric acid and water.
What happens when a lead acid battery is charged?
Voltage of lead acid battery upon charging. The charging reaction converts the lead sulfate at the negative electrode to lead. At the positive terminal the reaction converts the lead to lead oxide. As a by-product of this reaction, hydrogen is evolved.
How does a lead-acid battery work?
In the case of a lead-acid battery, the chemical reaction involves the conversion of lead and lead dioxide electrodes into lead sulfate and water. The sulfuric acid electrolyte in the battery provides the medium for the transfer of electrons between the electrodes, resulting in the generation of electrical energy.
Why do lead acid batteries lose water during overcharge?
In addition, the large size of lead sulfate crystals leads to active material disjoining from the plates. Due to the production of hydrogen at the positive electrode, lead acid batteries suffer from water loss during overcharge.
Can a lead acid battery fail?
The battery may also fail as an open circuit (that is, there may be a gradual increase in the internal series resistance), and any batteries connected in series with this battery will also be affected. Freezing the battery, depending on the type of lead acid battery used, may also cause irreversible failure of the battery.
What happens if a battery has a negative electrode?
Damage to the electrodes. The lead at the negative electrode is soft and easily damaged, particularly in applications in which the battery may experience continuous or vigorous movement. Stratification of the electrolyte. Sulfuric acid is a heavy, viscous liquid.
