This index describes to what degree acid stratification develops in flooded lead acid batteries. Different test
Customer ServiceAcid stratification causes a battery''s charge acceptance to decline by 50% to 70% within six months of installation, increasing alternator wear and tear and decreasing fuel efficiency.
Customer ServiceIn flooded lead–acid batteries, roughly 85% of all failures are related to grid corrosion, while in valve-regulated lead–acid batteries, grid corrosion is the cause of failure in about 60% of cases. This is a problem that develops over time and it typically affects batteries that are close to end of life. In other words, if the preventable causes of failure are eliminated, then
Customer ServiceAcid stratification causes a battery''s charge acceptance to decline by 50% to 70% within six months of installation, increasing alternator wear and tear and decreasing fuel efficiency.

Customer ServiceAccumulation of sulfuric acid at the bottom of the cell is called acid stratification. It can lead to faster sulfation, reduced capacity, and hence eventually battery failure. As a lead acid battery owner, you must know the details of acid stratification. As you know, lead acid battery electrolyte is a mixture of water and sulfuric acid.
Acid stratification happens naturally in flooded lead-acid batteries. The fluid in a battery is called electrolyte, and is a mixture of sulfuric acid and water. Acid is heavier than water, and is fundamental to the electrochemical charge and discharge process in a lead-acid battery.
Stratification also occurs if the battery charge is regularly around 80-85%, not fully charged. This can happen if you use your car for driving short distances. When a battery is in storage, there is more sulfuric acid at the bottom, and the bottom part of the lead plates start sulfating faster and to a greater degree than the rest of the plates.
Acid Stratification Is Bad for Batteries - Ten Things You Need to Know. ACID STRATIFICATION causes the useful active material in the battery to be reduced by 40% within six to eight months of normal use, creating what is known in the industry as dead lead or inactive active material.
Lead acid batteries are sluggish and cannot convert lead sulfate to lead and lead dioxide quickly during charge. This delayed action causes most of the charge activities to occur on the plate surfaces, resulting in an elevated state-of-charge (SoC) on the outside.
The electrolyte of a stratified battery concentrates at the bottom, starving the upper half of the cell. Acid stratification occurs if the battery dwells at low charge (below 80 percent), never receives a full charge and has shallow discharges.
