Identification and remediation of sulfation in lead-acid batteries
Real-time aging diagnostic tools were developed for lead-acid batteries using cell voltage and pressure sensing. Different aging mechanisms dominated the capacity loss in different cells within a dead 12 V VRLA battery. Sulfation was the predominant aging mechanism in the weakest cell but water loss reduced the capacity of several other cells

Lead sulfate used as the positive active material of lead acid batteries
Lead sulfate is produced when a lead acid battery discharges, and it is also known that big PbSO 4 crystals are less active than the smaller ones because they dissolve slower, thus result in failure of the battery. However, little is known if chemically prepared PbSO 4 can be used as active material

Understanding Sulfation and Recovery in Lead Acid Batteries
During discharge, both plates convert to lead sulfate (PbSO 4) and the electrolytes becomes less acidic. This reduces the specific gravity of the solution, which is the chemical "state of charge" of the battery. This causes the voltage to drop in each cell because the voltage is dependent on the differential between the plate materials and the strength of the acid. During discharge, the

Understanding Sulfation and Recovery in Lead Acid Batteries
Recharging the battery reverses the chemical process; the majority of accumulated sulfate is converted back to sulfuric acid. Desulfation is necessary to remove the residual lead sulfate, restoring capacity and run time. What is sulfation? Sulfation occurs each time a battery is discharged and is a normal part of battery operation. The process

Preventing Sulfation in Lead-Acid Batteries
Sulfation is a common problem that can cause significant damage to lead-acid batteries. When lead-acid batteries are not fully charged, sulfate crystals begin to form on the battery plates. Over time, these crystals can become larger and more stable, causing the battery to lose its ability to hold a charge. Here are some of the effects of

Lead sulfate precursor to positive active material in lead/acid batteries
It can be seen from Table 1 that lead sulfate has the smallest density of 6.32 g cm −3 and the biggest molar volume of 48.2 cm 3 mol −1 in all lead compounds. As a result the lead sulfate-based pastes exhibit greater molar-volume shrinkage during formation than do the oxide-based pastes and, thus, have greater porosity in the final active material that is lead

How To Desulfate A Battery
Sulfation is a natural chemical process that occurs when lead sulfate crystals build up on the surface of a lead-acid battery''s electrodes during use. This buildup happens because the chemical reactions that produce electricity in the battery also produce lead sulfate crystals, which can accumulate over time.

What happens to lead sulfate during charge?
During charge, lead sulfate dissolves into Pb 2+ and SO 4 2 −. Then electron transfer occurs on the electrode grid and the ions are oxidized/reduced to PbO 2 and Pb. This process is greatly affected by the current density, the diffusion rate, the crystal size and the solubility of PbSO 4.
How do you prevent sulfation in a lead acid battery?
Sulfation prevention remains the best course of action, by periodically fully charging the lead–acid batteries. A typical lead–acid battery contains a mixture with varying concentrations of water and acid.
How does a lead acid battery work?
A typical lead–acid battery contains a mixture with varying concentrations of water and acid. Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
How does lead sulfate react with sulfuric acid?
Lead and lead dioxide, the active materials on the battery's plates, react with sulfuric acid in the electrolyte to form lead sulfate. The lead sulfate first forms in a finely divided, amorphous state and easily reverts to lead, lead dioxide, and sulfuric acid when the battery recharges.
What causes a battery to sulfate?
The sulfation process is accelerated if the battery is left in a discharged state for a prolonged time; or is not properly and regularly equalized. This leads to the development of large crystals that reduce the battery’s active material, decreasing the battery’s capacity and performance.
How much lead is in a car battery?
According to a 2003 report entitled "Getting the Lead Out", by Environmental Defense and the Ecology Center of Ann Arbor, Michigan, the batteries of vehicles on the road contained an estimated 2,600,000 metric tons (2,600,000 long tons; 2,900,000 short tons) of lead. Some lead compounds are extremely toxic.
