Figure 4 : Chemical Action During Discharge When a lead-acid battery is discharged, the electrolyte divides into H 2 and SO 4 combine with some of the oxygen that is formed on the positive plate to produce water (H 2 O), and thereby reduces the amount of acid in the electrolyte.
For the main discharge reactions the default discharge reactions of the Lead-Acid Battery interface are used. The electrolyte diffusion coefficient and the electrolyte conductivity vary with the concentration according to Figure 4 and Figure 5, respectively. This data is also present in the Materials Library for the Battery Design Module.
The batteries should be charged in a well-ventilated place so that gases and acid fumes are blown away. The lead-acid battery should never be left idle for a long time in discharged condition because the lead sulfate coating on both the positive and negative plates will form into hard crystals that will be difficult to break up on recharging.
The sulfate (SO 4) combines with the lead (Pb) of both plates, forming lead sulphate (PbSO 4), as shown in Equation. 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).
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.
The reason for this wide usage of lead-acid batteries is their low cost in combination with their performance robustness for a broad range of operating conditions. However, one drawback of this battery type is that the inherent thermodynamics of the battery chemistry causes the battery to self-discharge over time.
