1. Construction of sealed lead acid batteries Positive plate: Pasting the lead paste onto the grid, and transforming the paste with curing and formation processes to lead dioxide active material. The grid is made of Pb-Ca alloy, and the lead paste is a mixture of lead oxide and sulfuric acid.
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.
3.3 Battery Self-discharge The lead acid battery will have self-discharge reaction under open circuit condition, in which the lead is reacted with sulfuric acid to form lead sulfate and evolve hydrogen. The reaction is accelerated at higher temperature. The result of self-discharge is the lowering of voltage and capacity loss.
The battery should not, therefore, be discharged below this voltage. 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.
Safety Valve: A one-way valve made of chloroprene rubber, which is to prevent the oxygen ingress into the battery and to release gas when internal pressure exceeds 0.5kgf/cm2. Case: A container made of ABS plastics, which is filled with plates group and electrolyte. 2. Reactions of Sealed Lead Acid Batteries
The charging voltage for the valve regulated lead acid battery should not be in excess of the gassing voltage, which is 2.4~2.5V/cell. The gassing voltage varies with temperature, and is decreased as the temperature is increased. Its temperature coefficient is –5.0mV/°C/cell.

Lead-Acid Battery Basics
When the battery provides current, there is a voltage drop across R S, and the terminal voltage v < v s. To charge the battery, a voltage v > v s. must be applied to the battery terminals. A real battery consists of a constant voltage source with voltage v s = 12.7 V and an internal resistance R s = 0.1 Ω.
