Degradation phenomenon of lead-acid batteries

In this paper, it is analysed the influence of the degradation processes in lead–acid batteries on the technoeconomic analysis of PV systems with and without battery.

How a battery is degraded?

A battery is degraded by the superposition of the various degradation modes (sulfating, stratification, corrosion and non cohesion of active mass). Fig. 14, Fig. 15, Fig. 16 represent the experimental Nyquist diagram of 3 batteries (a new battery and 2 used batteries). Fig. 14. Diagram of Nyquist of the battery tested No. 1. Fully charged. Fig. 15.

What is lead acid battery technology?

The lead acid battery technology has undergone several modifications in the recent past, in particular, the electrode grid composition, oxide paste recipe with incorporation of foreign additives into the electrodes and similarly additives added in the electrolytes to improve electrical performance of the lead acid battery.

What are the major aging processes affecting battery performance?

The major aging processes, leading to gradual loss of performance and eventually to the end of service life, are stratification of electrolyte, sulfating of the electrodes, corrosion of the electrodes and the loss of active mass adherence to the grid , , . Fig. 1. Causal tree of lead acid battery.

Why is the lead-acid battery industry failing?

Availability, safety and reliability issues—low specific energy, self-discharge and aging—continue to plague the lead-acid battery industry, 1 – 6 which lacks a consistent and effective approach to monitor and predict performance and aging across all battery types and configurations.

What is the reliability analysis of a lead acid battery?

The reliability analysis of the lead acid battery is based on three stages. The first stage consists of constructing a causal tree that presents the various possible combinations of events that involves the batteries degradation during lead acid battery operation .

Why does a lead-acid battery have a low service life?

On the other hand, at very high acid concentrations, service life also decreases, in particular due to higher rates of self-discharge, due to gas evolution, and increased danger of sulfation of the active material. 1.
