Overcharging with high charging voltages generates oxygen and hydrogen gas by electrolysis of water, which bubbles out and is lost. The design of some types of lead–acid battery (eg "flooded", but not VRLA (AGM or gel)) allows the electrolyte level to be inspected and topped up with pure water to replace any.

Customer ServiceHow Lead-Acid Batteries Release Hydrogen. Lead-acid batteries produce hydrogen and oxygen gas when they are being charged. These gasses are produced by the electrolysis of water from the aqueous solution of sulfuric acid. A Vented Lead-Acid (VLA) battery cell, sometimes referred to as a "flooded" or "wet" cell, is open to the atmosphere
Customer ServiceValve-regulated lead–acid batteries employ the oxygen recombination technology and they generate more heat than flooded ones during overcharging. In a tightly packed arrangement, the battery temperature can be considerably higher than the ambient. A high-temperature operation accelerates water loss and reduces battery life. This is why

Customer ServiceThis paper presents the basic chemistry of oxygen recombination in lead-acid cells and briefly compares it with the more highly developed nickel-cadmium system, which also operates on the oxygen cycle. Aspects of gas and thermal management relevant to valve-regulated lead-acid batteries are discussed in some detail.
Customer ServiceValve regulated lead acid (VRLA) batteries are similar in concept to sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries except that the valves are expected to release some hydrogen near full charge. SLA or VRLA batteries typically have additional design features such as the use of gelled electrolytes and the use of lead calcium plates to keep the evolution of hydrogen gas to a minimum.

Customer ServiceIn fact, there is almost always at least a little H 2 around in areas where lead batteries are being charged. During charging, these batteries produce oxygen and hydrogen by the electrolysis. When a lead acid battery cell "blows" or becomes incapable of being charged properly, the amount of hydrogen produced can increase catastrophically:

Customer ServiceDue to the electrochemical potentials, water splits into hydrogen and oxygen in a closed lead-acid battery. These gases must be able to leave the battery vessel.

Customer ServiceA typical lead–acid battery contains a mixture with varying concentrations of water and acid. Sulfuric acid has a higher density than water, which causes the acid formed at the plates during charging to flow downward and collect at the bottom of the battery.
Lead-acid batteries will produce little or no gases at all during discharge. During discharge, the plates are mainly lead and lead oxide while the electrolyte has a high concentration of sulfuric acid. During discharge, the sulfuric acid in the electrolyte divides into sulfur ions and hydrogen ions.
The overcharge current corresponds to the rate of oxygen cycle, which depends on the overpotential of oxygen evolution. The electromotive force of lead–acid batteries decreases by about 3.5 mV each time the temperature is elevated by 1 °C, that is, the voltage temperature coefficient is negative.
In practice, the negative plate is depolarized due to the reduction of oxygen coming from the positive plate. The increase of the battery overvoltage caused by the temperature rise mainly raises the polarization of oxygen evolution. Therefore, the oxygen evolution current is greatly affected by the battery temperature.
Early attempts to use recombination in lead-acid batteries were unsuccessful due to excessive cost, size, and/or complexity, and none were effectively commercialized. However, over the past 20 years, recombination systems have been developed and are undergoing an extensive program of definition and refinement at many battery companies.
Sulfation prevention remains the best course of action, by periodically fully charging the lead–acid batteries. A typical lead–acid battery contains a mixture with varying concentrations of water and acid.
