The self-discharge reaction between the electrodes will electrolyse water into HX2 H X 2 and OX2 O X 2. At the same time, the following reactions happens on the electrode plates: On the positive plate:
Customer ServiceWhen the battery is charged, the lead plates react with the electrolyte solution, creating a chemical reaction that produces electrical energy. When the battery is discharged, the chemical reaction is reversed, and the electrical energy is used to power a device.

Customer ServiceThe variation of double-layer capacity and internal resistance can indicate added water content and electrolyte volume. The results of this work offer guidance for accurately estimating the water loss in lead-acid batteries and extending the BMS function.
Customer ServiceThe battery contains two lead plates immersed in sulfuric acid, which react to produce electricity. When the battery is being charged, the electrical current flows in the opposite direction, causing the lead plates to be coated with lead dioxide and pure lead. This process is called electroplating and it allows the battery to store energy for later use. Lead-acid batteries

Customer ServiceDuring charging, given the high voltage, water is dissociated at the two electrodes, and gaseous hydrogen and oxygen products are readily formed leading to the loss of the electrolyte and a potentially explosive situation.

Sealed batteries are made safer by allowing the gases to recombine within the cell.
Customer ServiceAs the battery discharges, the active materials in the electrodes (lead dioxide in the positive electrode and sponge lead in the negative electrode) react with sulfuric acid in the electrolyte to form lead sulfate and water. On recharge, the lead sulfate on both electrodes converts back to lead dioxide (positive) and sponge lead (negative), and

Customer ServiceWhen a lead–acid battery loses water, its acid concentration increases, increasing the corrosion rate of the plates significantly. AGM cells already have a high acid content in an attempt to lower the water loss rate and increase standby voltage, and this brings about shorter life compared to a lead–antimony flooded battery.

Customer ServiceStudying the water loss in lead acid batteries, as described in ref. [10], is a notable research focus because the loss of water over time reduces the Coulombic efficiency of lead-acid batteries, affects the redox reactions of the electrode materials, and even leads to thermal runaway [7, 11, 12].

Customer ServiceHowever, like any other technology, lead-acid batteries have their advantages and disadvantages. One of the main advantages of lead-acid batteries is their long service life. With proper maintenance, a lead-acid battery can last between 5 and 15 years, depending on its quality and usage. They are also relatively inexpensive to purchase, making
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.
Gassing introduces several problems into a lead acid battery. Not only does the gassing of the battery raise safety concerns, due to the explosive nature of the hydrogen produced, but gassing also reduces the water in the battery, which must be manually replaced, introducing a maintenance component into the system.
In between the fully discharged and charged states, a lead acid battery will experience a gradual reduction in the voltage. Voltage level is commonly used to indicate a battery's state of charge. The dependence of the battery on the battery state of charge is shown in the figure below.
The formation of this lead sulfate uses sulfate from the sulfuric acid electrolyte surrounding the battery. As a result, the electrolyte becomes less concentrated. Full discharge would result in both electrodes being covered with lead sulfate and water rather than sulfuric acid surrounding the electrodes.
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.
The anode is transformed into lead peroxide (PbO 2) and cathode into the spongy lead (Pb). Water is consumed and sulphuric acid is formed which increases the specific gravity of electrolyte from 1.18 to 1.28. The terminal voltage of each battery cell increases to 2.2 to 2.5V.
