Heat generated by gassing during float or equalization charging can trigger thermal runaway in lead calcium batteries. All lead-acid batteries generate heat during normal operation. There is a small amount of joule heating simply from the currents flowing through the battery components.
This can result in the destruction of the battery or, in severe cases, also in fire. For lead–acid batteries, thermal runaways are especially reported for VRLA batteries when inappropriate charging and supervision strategies are used. A risk for thermal runaway occurs during constant voltage charging.
If the heat exceeds the battery’s capacity to dissipate it, thermal runaway may occur. Initiation Stage: In this stage, external factors like overcharging, overheating, or mechanical damage cause a local rise in temperature within the battery cell.
Things like drop shocks or high vibration environments can cause internal damage that can lead to internal shorts. A drop shock can knock pieces of lead loose which will fall into the plates. When this piece of lead connects the two plates, a direct internal short is created which will often lead to a thermal runaway.
Higher temperature causes an increased current draw by the battery (float/charge current). More current creates more heat until the electrolyte (Acid within the battery) vaporizes (dry-out) within the battery at 259 degrees Fahrenheit.
The thermal runaway is a faulty process that may appear under certain conditions in a VRLA battery when a battery charger does not have any temperature control or does not function properly. Thermal runaway is a positive temperature feedback effect of a system with higher heat generation than effective cooling through the battery walls.
