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.
Thermal events in lead-acid batteries during their operation play an important role; they affect not only the reaction rate of ongoing electrochemical reactions, but also the rate of discharge and self-discharge, length of service life and, in critical cases, can even cause a fatal failure of the battery, known as “thermal runaway.”
It is well known that one of the main reasons for a relatively low specific capacity and energy of lead-acid batteries is the low utilization efficiency of the active mass in conjunction with the heavy weight of a conventional grid . Lead electrodes constitute about 21% of total weight of the typical lead-acid car battery .
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 final capacity drop was probably caused by the corrosion of lead electrodeposited on the carbon collectors in positive plates. Nevertheless, this result shows that the cell with the RVC/Pb grids can complete many charge/discharge cycles and is comparable in this regard to characteristics of standard lead-acid cells.
The basic electrochemistry of the lead-acid battery is very well understood. All lead-acid batteries contain a porous Pb (negative) electrode, a porous PbO 2 (positive) electrode and sulfuric acid electrolyte. The primary discharge reactions of the lead-acid battery are as follows:

Thermal–runaway (TRA) is one of the most challenging phenomena in valve regulated lead–acid (VRLA) batteries. When a battery is charged (usually under float charge at constant voltage), its temperature rises due to the internal chemical and electrochemical reactions and Joule heating.

The aim of this study is to look at a less appreciated fact that during lead-acid battery discharge, an entropy-based phenomenon leads to a cooling effect, which may not be intuitively apparent as it is often negated by Joule heating due to large current flow.
