Hydrogen evolution impacts battery performance as a secondary and side reaction in Lead–acid batteries. It influences the volume, composition, and concentration of the electrolyte. Generally accepted hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) mechanisms in acid solutions are as follows:
Watering is the most common battery maintenance action required from the user. Automatic and semi automatic watering systems are among the most popular lead acid battery accessories. Lack of proper watering leads to quick degradation of the battery (corrosion, sulfation....).
In the past two decades, there has been a significant increase in the research and development of external recombinant catalyst technology as a primary mechanism for reducing the problems associated with hydrogen gas evolution in flooded lead acid batteries.
This hydrogen evolution, or outgassing, is primarily the result of lead acid batteries under charge, where typically the charge current is greater than that required to maintain a 100% state of charge due to the normal chemical inefficiencies of the electrolyte and the internal resistance of the cells.
Under the cathodic working conditions of a Lead–acid battery (−0.86 to −1.36 V vs. Hg/Hg 2 SO 4, 5 mol/L sulfuric acid), a carbon electrode can easily cause severe hydrogen evolution at the end of charge. This can result in thermal runaway or even electrolyte dry out, as shown in Fig. 5.
In normal operation (float voltage), flooded lead acid batteries are kept in a state of maximum voltage potential in order to maintain maximum power reserve.
