In addition to the above factors, the self-discharge rate in lead acid batteries is dependent on the battery type and the ambient temperature. AGM and gel-type lead acids have a self-discharge rate of about 4% per month, while less expensive flooded batteries can have self-discharge rates of up to 8% per month. Figure 1.
Sealed lead-acid batteries are generally rated with a 20-hour discharge rate. That is the current that the battery can provide in 20 hours discharged to a final voltage of 1.75 volts per second at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
The ideal discharge curve of a lead acid battery is on a flat discharge curve, the amount of current that the battery can deliver remain more or less constant for quite a while and then drop off rapidly when the limit of it capacity has been reach.
The ambient temperature is probably the biggest factor affecting the self-discharge rate of lead-acid batteries. That can be important for applications like industrial uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) or automobiles where the batteries can be subjected to high-temperature environments (Figure 1).
Self-discharge can significantly limit the shelf life of batteries. The rate of self-discharge can be influenced by the ambient temperature, state of charge of the battery, battery construction, charging current, and other factors. Primary batteries tend to have lower self-discharge rates compared with rechargeable chemistries.
For the main discharge reactions the default discharge reactions of the Lead-Acid Battery interface are used. The electrolyte diffusion coefficient and the electrolyte conductivity vary with the concentration according to Figure 4 and Figure 5, respectively. This data is also present in the Materials Library for the Battery Design Module.
