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.”
The discharge state is more stable for lead–acid batteries because lead, on the negative electrode, and lead dioxide on the positive are unstable in sulfuric acid. Therefore, the chemical (not electrochemical) decomposition of lead and lead dioxide in sulfuric acid will proceed even without a load between the electrodes.
One of the most important properties of lead–acid batteries is the capacity or the amount of energy stored in a battery (Ah). This is an important property for batteries used in stationary applications, for example, in photovoltaic systems as well as for automotive applications as the main power supply.
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. Introduction The lead–acid battery is an old system, and its aging processes have been thoroughly investigated.
Another important performance factor for lead–acid batteries is self-discharge, a gradual reduction in the state of charge of a battery during storage or standby. The self-discharge takes place because of the tendency of battery reactions to proceed toward the discharged state, in the direction of exothermic change or toward the equilibrium.
It is commonly accepted that most lead–acid batteries have about a 5% self-discharge rate, which means they lose 5% of their capacity per month, at 20 °C (Fig. 3.19). Lead–acid battery self-discharge as a function of temperature for new and old batteries
